Hi all,

Figured I'd introduce myself. Moved to New Zealand in August last year with my wife (a kiwi) from Canberra, Australia. Have a newborn so decided to raise her over here. Tech and gaming enthusiast - into far too many things to be great at any of them! PSN tag is 'jagarfull' so add me.

Based in Auckland and was happy to stumble across sites like this - nice to see the tech community has a good hub!

Run a few websites, when I'm not busy fathering, gaming, listening to podcasts or at my day job:

Android app reviews - www.droidappoftheday.com
Personal Photography Blog - www.exploringslr.com
Windows 10 app reviews (only new, deciding whether to keep going or not still!): http://windows10appreviews.blogspot.co.nz/

Looking forward to getting more involved.

Brad

Hi and welcome Brad. Sound like you'll fit right in :)

<- don't ask me where I am - I haven't a clue: its a tech thing ;)
Housewife computerer: not particularly great at either.
And don't take me too seriously.
