Welcome Our New Additions To The Team

Please take a moment to welcome our five latest new additions to the Make Use Of team. They have all had articles published and Jimmy even appeared on the podcast on Sunday!

I’m Lee and as soon as I get the homemade ectoplasm off my face I’ll be a regular contributor to Make Use Of.

I’m a technician with fifteen years of experience in the trenches, battling computer evil from behind the retail service counter. Hopefully you’ll find my articles informative and not-too-stuffy. I may get a little opinionated from time to time, but that comes with the territory, am I right?

I always welcome questions and will do my best to answer yours (as long as it’s not “What is the average windspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?”). You can track me down on Unsightful, my personal tech blog for the not-quite-so-technical.

My name is Nick and I am a college student from New Jersey. I am an Information Technology major, freelance blogger, and web designer. In particular, I enjoy new technology, social networking, open source software, and internet media.

In my free time, I listen to podcasts including the great Make Use Of Podcast. I also run Tech Network where I, as well as others, blog about gaming, web development, social networking, open source software, internet news, and breaking tech news.

I discovered Make Use Of not too long ago and immediately decided that I wanted to write for the site. I am happy to be here and hope to add to the massive index of knowledge and information.

My name is Jimmy and I am extremely pleased to join the Make Use Of team. I’m a bit like a fan who gets to join the band because I have been reading the site for quite a while. I love the other authors and the community they have built.

I have always loved computers and technology, probably beginning with a program my dad, a computer guy in his own right, helped me write in SuperDOS (it included a picture made with asterisks). Since then, whether it was the internet, laptops, desktops, or more recently, the iPhone, I have tried to keep up with the latest technology. I’ve been blogging about technology now for over a year on my personal blog about websites, cool apps, and college.

In my spare time, I’m a biology major at George Mason University and I plan on becoming a research microbiologist.

Hi, I’m Kevin, a college student from Southern New Jersey. I’ve been using and building computers ever since I could get my hands on one, and it’s all progressed from there.

I enjoy blogging, podcasting, and designing websites. In my free time, I write tech articles, play Xbox 360, surf the web, and listen to podcasts. Some of the specific topics I focus on are Blackberry applications, open source solutions, net neutrality, and VOIP.

I am Managing Editor at techNETWORK, a site created by my friend and fellow Make Use Of writer Nick Volpe. Check out my posts on there as well as my personal blog at www.KRichardSays.com.

Hi, my name’s Simon and I’m a student from Belgium. I’ve always enjoyed computers and other IT-related stuff. As I grew up using an Apple, bought my first Windows PC and was later introduced to Linux, I’m a guy who can enjoy every platform.

My other passions are gaming (I own a PS3, Wii and an Xbox 360 - I’m still a Sony fanboy, though), watching movies, series and anime. Besides that, I like to read and just love music. Chances are that I will go and study game-development in England.

At the moment I’m working to get my blog started. As soon as it’s ready I’ll make sure you hear about it!
