Welcome Three New Writers to the MUO Team

Please join me in welcoming three new writers to the Make Use Of team - Tina, Shankar and Travis. You will already have seen the first articles by Tina and Shankar, and Travis.

So without further ado, our writers will now introduce themselves :

Tina [tinsie.net/Recommended/]

My name is Tina, I’m 29 and I’m a tech addict. In “real life” I studied biology and am currently working as a scientist with merely a couple of months away from making my PhD in biochemistry. At the lab I’m responsible for all computer hardware and software, and with shame I admit I can’t always solve all the issues all the time. Hey, I’m a biologist, and I have yet to meet a computer that responds when I talk to it.

During my leisure time I run several online projects, one being my blog Recommended. Apart from the above I enjoy nature, architecture, photography, alternative/pop/rock concerts and couch surfing.

I got in touch with computers at a very young age, playing silly games on a workstation sitting next to a never forgotten Cray. To be honest, I hated the simple graphics of computers back then. But I was very impressed by all the equipment that filled the computing rooms at my dad’s workplace. As a kid I couldn’t help wondering why something so powerful produced such a dull visual output.

Fortunately, there has been a lot of progress and I’m looking forward to presenting you some of that. I will focus on “desktop modding” and “firefox”, but might also post about other things now and then.

Travis [www.tquizzle.com]

Hi, I’m Travis and I am a marketing, technology & business entrepreneur on a lifelong journey to create independent wealth and happiness.

Computers have become more than just a hobby. I work as a “Network Engineer” for a major Health System from 8-5 and I also run a small web design and development company in my spare time focusing on Web Standards and hacking to death the amazingly brilliant WordPress application.

I also love martial arts. I am currently a senior student under the instruction of Sensei Nicholas Guinn at Guinn Martial Arts. While I currently only take AikiJitsu, I am very interested in many martial arts including but not limited to Capoeira, Judo, Jujitsu and Lua.

Shankar [www.killertechtips.com]

My name is Shankar Ganesh, I’m a 16 year old student and a part time blogger. I’m really excited about joining Make Use Of, and I hope to provide you with more useful stuff in my articles. Here is my blog - http://www.killertechtips.com. Keep an eye on my articles for more useful Windows tools and tricks ;).
