About steve_mtl
A Montreal based software developer by trade, father of 2 boys, happily married to an equally gadget hungry and amazing wife. So that's the bullet description. I'm also an avid reader, play in a 20+ baseball league, am passionate about the web and open source. I like to voice my opnion on companies that overreach their power on consumers, technology, switching from PC to Mac, evaluating technology that I'm either buying or yearning to buy. Recently into doing my part to be more environmentally conscious, I'm now looking into ways to offset my CO2 footprint, while still running a PC and not regressing into the stone age. I've been called a geek, and have no problems with that. My rants can be followed on twitter @mtl_steve
