Matthew
I am an avid Mac-user, nerd, musician, freelancer, and gamer. Ask me about my collection of M:TG cards!
I've also got a horrible habit of needing the absolute newest technological wonder, whether it's stable or not. If they made a home-version of the LHC, I'd have 2.
Additionally, I've been playing music for the better part of 14 years. I'm self-taught on piano, guitar, trumpet, trombone, sax, clarinet, bass, drums and other percussion, and around 10 other instruments. I also spend quite a bit of time dabbling in synthesizers, sequencers, and samplers.
I'm also founder of Quotelicious where I collect and share the quotes I love.
