Welcome

So for the last say, 5 maybe six years I have had my mom, her mates, my mates, my uncles, aunts, teachers, neighborhood cats and dogs calling me for help with their tech. issues. I don't mind, I love it, it's what I do - it's what I was born to do. It's like a quest sorting out problems that are driving others crazy. I guess you could say it makes me feel good to say I have been able to save at least one computer from being thrown out of the window or rolled down a flight of stairs. It keeps me grounded, I would also like to say humbled but being king of the tech world at my tender age (only 17) is a proper head sweller.
Anyway, I decided to put my incredible talents to good use and offer my services on a more official basis. The world is crying out for a person that they can call to say - "hey, I've just lost my entire thesis on Word and rather than take the sledge hammer to the living room wall I was wondering whether you may have any suggestions!" Now I'm not promising miracles, but I am good. AND I'm free ! (though I would never refuse a donation towards my impending college fund, NEVER, that would be wrong). So for all your technical woes - CHECK WITH ME, I might be able to help. You can email me and I'll walk you through your problems. I'll also be helping local schools, churches, community orgs. and will work by referral too. So if you know of anyone who needs a hand, tell them to check me out. Who knows, I may even come to you if you're in my area.
In addition to my services you'll find that I'm also something of a product junkie, so i'll be giving my personal opinion on a variety of gadgets, gizmos and all that stuff.

Now here's my disclaimer:
I'm a kid OKAY! I'm not an expert, though I'm pretty darn good. If you are looking for a miracle I can give you our pastor's number. My opinions don't matter, they're mine. Get your own if you disagree. Though I'm pretty sure you will agree with me 99% of the time, you will buy products upon my recommendation, and you will thank me.
And finally, don't quote me on anything. I'm a KID! I'm just trying to make the world a little less frustrating. So welcome to my blog! Visit me. Leave comments. Ask questions. Tell me your problems (no personal girly stuff please, i'll only laugh).
See ya soon.

Follow-up: Why gamers need an Xbox 360

hypermama asked a very valid question as to whether the Xbox 360 is a suitable console for kids under 12. Yes the console is suitable for kids under 12. Microsoft has a slew of games for children to play including Banjo-Kazooie, Lego Star Wars and Viva Pinata. Lets not forget the majority of sports games too. The Xbox 360 is certanly easy enough to use, in fact want all you need to know is how to open the disc drive and you'll be fine. The online store, Xbox Live Marketplace is a bit of a mess and difficult to navigate for the time being, Microsoft is releasing a makeover to the entire menu system, the Operating System, on November the 12th.
However, I think that the Wii is better in this regard. Especially for girls. Not leaps and bounds ahead but definitely somewhat better, having games like Mario and Mario Kart, but also High School Musical and Hannah Montana. Developers make more kids games for Wii, simply because of its perceived audience.
I believe that any child 12 or under will be more than happy with an Xbox 360, especially the 11 or 12 year olds, and will find a better gaming experience on many games with the Xbox. However, some just want to play with their favorite characters from TV, and this is where the Wii is better. Also, if you have a girl, more often than not they'll find more to like with the Wii.

What's to know? I'm 17. Born in Jacksonville, Florida. Lived in the U.K for several years. I'm supposedly really, really clever - some call it gifted. I have a younger brother (he's pretty cool but don't tell him I said so). That's it!
