What’s going on here?  Well, WOOD TV Managing Web Editor Tim Steele has given me the honor of providing something the website doesn’t have yet: a voice for the gamer and gadget lover.  So who am I?  That’s what this post is all about.

I’m a producer here at WOOD TV with a love for all things digital.  I’ve been a gamer for more than 20 years harking back to my childhood days with the NES.  I don’t go all the way back to the beginning of gaming, but over 20 years I think I’ve played my fair share.  I’m sure at some point I’ll do a Top X list of my favorite games, maybe even per system.

For now I’ll share that Starcraft, Portal, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Mario Kart 64 are among my favorite games of all time.

On the gadget side, I build my own desktops and sometime I’ll tell you how it’s not that hard to do. (Think LEGO but more costly.)  My best friend tells me that I have an addiction to buying computer mice and I can’t disagree.  I buy at least a mouse a year–my most recent purchase was the Razer Lachesis.  You’ll see my thoughts on it soon.  I’ll try to point your way to some other good newsbits too that I don’t have enough time to write about myself.

I didn’t buy the iPhone or the iPhone 3g, but I own an iPod Touch and a Sprint Instinct.  I love both.
I am married and bought my HDTV with permission from my wife.  It’s definitely the best addition that our family room has ever seen.  Going along with the HDTV, I have a Home Theater PC (HTPC) and a DVR which allow me to do some really interesting things with the TV.

This is “Not Made Of Wood” and I’ll do my best to deliver a unique angle on gadgets and games that WOODTV.com hasn’t seen before.
