My first computer was a clunky desktop my dad built from spare parts in the late '90s—it ran Windows 98 and had a dial-up connection that screeched like a banshee every time I tried to download something. That machine taught me more about patience (and cursing) than any classroom ever could. Now, I run this site to make tech feel less intimidating, whether it’s helping someone set up their first spreadsheet or troubleshooting a stubborn PC. If I’m not writing about software or hardware, you’ll find me tinkering with old gadgets or trying to convince my cat that my keyboard isn’t a scratching post.
