Jon Stacey's life with technology

About

Jon-about

Hi, I’m Jon Stacey. I am a 22 year old student currently living in Lincoln Nebraska working towards a bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Systems. You may be interested in seeing my LinkedIn resume.

Technology is my passion and has been since I was a kid. I have built computers, overclocked them, and yes broken them, but only a few times. I started this blog to share my personal experiences with technology and learn from readers.

My Gear

In class and on trips I usually always have my 17″ MacBook Pro (mid-2007) with me. Back at home I scoot up to a 24″ iMac (mid-2008) to do all my heavy multimedia watching. That includes Wii parties using an Elgato EyeTV. The camera that I hardly ever use is a Canon SD500 Powershot that’s not even made anymore. Oh, the bike in the picture is a Novara Bonanza ’07 and has served me well for hundreds of miles.
