New Kid on the Block

Good Morning!

I've been putting this off because I really don't know what to say; I've never been good with introductions. But I do want to say "hi" to everyone now that C.K. has let the cat out of the bag. I'm a life-long Apple user–we got our first IIe when I was 5–and I've been hooked ever since. I think the LOGO Turtle probably had a lot to do with my love affair with the IIe and subsequent Apple designs, as well as getting me started on the long road to hackerdom. Since then I've had succession of IIgs, LC*, Performa, and PowerMac(intosh) boxes. In my spare time I mess around with a variety of open source systems including Linux (SuSE, Yellowdog), OpenBSD, and FreeBSD, and keep the blog at engatiki.org, where I keep tabs on drm, copyright, and First Amendment tech issues.

Here at TUAW, I'll be covering the Darwin/BSD side of things including the base system, open source projects for the Mac, Fink, DarwinPorts, and whatever else comes along.
