Hey everyone! My name is Gavin Choate, and I’m a new contributing blogger here at Gear Live.  Since I’ll be subjecting you fine folks to my rants and whims of geek-ness, I figured I should tell you a little about myself.  I’ve been a geek for a little over 23 years now (yes, since birth - I believe we are born that way).  I’m currently a student studying Computer Science and Mathematics.  I’m uncontrollably attracted to anything with blinking lights or buttons to push, so naturally I love

blenders

gadgets.  To my open-source brethren: I’m a faithful Linux user.  I’ve tried many different flavors over the years, and recently have been in love with Ubuntu.  I still boot into

Wintendo

Windows for my gaming binges, but for some reason always feel the need to take a shower afterward. 

Anyway, I’m looking forward to providing some interesting news, as well as well balanced reviews for everyone.  Always remember, Geek is chic!
