Colophon

Hello. My name is Shawn Blanc (pronounced like “blonk”). I live in Kansas City with my pregnant wife and our two green couches. I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, drive a 20th Anniversary Edition GTI (#3455), and write full time for this tech- and design-centric website. Welcome.

Tools

My current setup is a specced-out 13-inch MacBook Air (mid 2011). Before this I used an early-2008 model 15-inch MacBook Pro. Before that was a Quad-Core Mac Pro named Azlan, and before that a 12-inch PowerBook G4 with its custom-fitted Brenthaven case. I loved that case.

I am a bit of a software aficionado. For a closer look at what software I use, check out the reviews section.
