Having grown up playing Doom II on LAN against my dad at home, I was on a course of Geekdom from early on. Decent, Doom and Wolfenstein 3D were my games of choice as a young one, and had me hooked on PC gaming. I haven’t turned back since. I’ve turned into a slight hardware enthusiast, and am increasingly exceeding the dollar to performance ratio one might consider a value in my gaming rigs. With gaming in my blood, it took me longer than most to find and start reading comics, but at last, in my latter half of my 20’s, I picked up my first few books and make my weekly trips to the shop, chatting with the staff to see what they’ve read, talking about trades I should read, and getting an education in the world of comics on a weekly basis. I also have a website and YouTube channel, where I occasionally put together a stream of consciousness or review a piece of tech I’ve recently purchased or received. Find me on twitter @geekindad so we can chat, you see my ramblings as a dad and football fan, and anything in between.

Vizio to pay $2.2M by FTC
The concept of companies watching what you are doing on electronic devices isn’t new. The concept of them taking that data, made anonymous, and selling it to advertisers isn’t, either. But in 2014, Vizio was caught doing something worse, and subsequently sued for it. Vizio was caught not only watching what end users were doing… Continue reading Vizio to pay $2.2M by FTC
