The Girly Anti-Geek

For this week’s feature, I’m pleased to introduce you all to another self-proclaimed geek. Grandy truly doesn’t single these people out because she is calling anyone names. She really does enjoy learning about what these bloggers offer. The funnest part is featuring each of them here.

Readers, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Chris.  I met him through Entrecard, and like that he has tips for all levels of techies. 

C-tech (http://ctechblog.com) I’ve had several others but actually lost interest in them and eventually shut  them down.

**How long have you been blogging?

2 years on various blogs about 4 months on C-tech

**What kind of Geek are you?    

Well, I would consider myself a jack of all trades but my bill paying job is in the networking industry.  If I had to say I had one personal specific focus I would say it would definitely be PC building.  I’m currently in the finishing stages of opening Christmatnic Inc, A Gaming/Lan center and PC Repair Company.

**Are you a Geek offline?

Oh definitely, I’m starting my own gaming center so I have to be in the know to facilitate herding my other geek friends into the gaming center.  But I do a lot of non-geek things also.

**What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re NOT blogging? 

I would definitely say gaming and riding my motorcycle.  I actually own 2 motorcycles, a VTX1300S and a 750 Shadow Spirit.  I like to keep my life experiences diversified and being a motorcyclist that regularly attends rallies accomplishes that.

**Who is your target audience?

“Professional Bloggers” will tell you that this is bad but I try to provide value to a wide spectrum of people.  I write optimization tips with the computer illiterate in mind and write more in depth articles for the more tech-savvy.

**How do you generate traffic to your site?

Honestly I’ve never really done anything special I tried entrecard and got decent results out of it.  A lot of my traffic is actually through Google.  But my loyal traffic has been generated by participating in the blogosphere.

**Tell us one “secret” or “tip” you can share with us non-geeks who are learning.

Best tip I can ever tell someone that wants to become geeky is if there is something you hear or see that you want to learn about is to Google it.  Google it until you can’t Google it anymore and you’ll eventually become very “versed” on the topic your googling.  Googling is power.

**Tell us more about YOU!!

Well I’m 25 years old.  I’ve been around the it industry since I was 18 years old.  But had a passion for the geeky ever since I rebuilt my first 286 (Packard Bell) when I was 10 years old.

As for my hobbies I like to game a lot.  Some of my favorites are Dawn of War 2, World of Warcraft, and anything that’s Call of Duty.  I also like to ride motorcyles.  I guess that’s really are there is to say about me.  Overall I’m a pretty boring dude. 

Thank you, Chris, for your willingness to play along in my Tuesday Geek Feature!!  I don’t think you give yourself enough credit because you don’t sound boring at ALL!! 

Readers, please stop by his place and let him know Grandy sent ya!!
