Hi. I thought it might be fun to start a thread for anyone who wants to talk about geek/tech stuff. My main interests are new technology (Yoyo or not Yoyo related), online privacy and security, media manipulation tactics, Mac tech stuff (I can turn one inside out - excluding the new glued together mb pros, and I haven’t dived much into getting inside the opaque iOS, yet - though it’s very interesting to me), new web dev stuff, mopeds, and pretty much anything that includes solve for X. My main disinterests are politics and environmental issues. ---

I enjoy messing with Linux though I’m no coding wiz. I currently use Linux Mint 11 MATE but I plan on going to 13 Cinnamon when I finish building my rig. ---

I REALLY REALLY want one of those.

You’re eyes are only able to look at the screens inside it the entire time; I believe most eye strain is from looking back and forth between things. Also I’m about to do something like this: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/8/4/c84f544791ae805a825fd4fcef3a1aaa7d9a3a12.jpeg "Winter Wrap Up (On Floppy Drives)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HhoIku_-yM) ---

Cool. I’m glad some people were interested in posting here. Last few days I’ve been diving into most of the cs6 suite. Just the things I use regularly. Photoshop, dreamweaver (both for visual and when I’m coding - I find the code view to be better than other editors I’ve used), illustrator, and even opened fireworks because it was there. Though it still seems like a redundant piece of software. [Sniffy-Yo.com](http://Sniffy-Yo.com) @Sniffyo on twitter ---

Oh, and edge, which I’m not sure will be a full product, but is a really nice little thing. > > [Sniffy-Yo.com](http://Sniffy-Yo.com) > @Sniffyo on twitter [Sniffy-Yo.com](http://Sniffy-Yo.com) @Sniffyo on twitter
