Jim Frost is a software engineer by trade, with expensive side-interests in photography, motorcycling and bicycling. From his earliest years his dad called him a "knob twister," a result of spending way too much time playing with anything that had knobs on it. That developed into a tinkering hobby, CB radio, writing code for all manner of computers, and eventually into a collection of many interesting and unusual gadgets.
This is a blog about gadgets that strike a geek's fancy. Computers big and small, accessories, silly toys, cameras, neat things I stumble upon around the net, and maybe even a few bicycle or motorcycle bits thrown in for flavor.
Wayne has 3 passions in his life: family, cycling and anything digital. As for the latter, he is specifically stoked about wireless technology. As a technologist, he worked for a leading mobile operating system firm to define the new class of smartphones and user interfaces. Having fought the standards battle with the likes of Microsoft, Wayne has now become much more agnostic about technology standards preferring to appreciating and commenting on the usefulness of mobile technology. So whether it be GSM or CDMA, UMTS or EV-DO, Wayne hopes to make sense of it all to mobile gadget lovers everywhere!
