When not hard at work in front of a computer, you’ll find me frequenting the Apple blogs, strumming a guitar, landscaping my yard or trying to find the best burger around. I’m one of the few people left that loves NBA basketball. My music collection features more than 10,000 songs. And of course I can’t help but get excited over new fonts — they’re just the best.
