Carlos Gaspar (642 articles)

Hello, my name is Tiago Gaspar.

I finished high school in Mozambique, and I am currently studying Communication and Multimedia Design, at ESEC University, in Portugal.

I'm a collaborator for the University of Coimbra Newspaper site – A CABRA - as a Web Designer.

My daily gadgets are far too many to list them all here, therefore, I will only tell you about the best one. It is a brand "new" Nokia 3310 that I own since 2001. I actually have a plan to buy a better mobile phone, it is a long-term plan!

But have no fear, while it may seem my best gadget is old, I will bring you the latest, and most interesting products released. After all, that is what The Gadgets Weblog is about.

Comments on any, and every post you like or dislike are welcome.

Andrew Garrett (688 articles)

Good morning/afternoon/evening, and welcome.

I'm Andrew Garrett, and I'll be your host on this site.

By day, I'm a moderately mild-mannered (most of the time), sysadmin/infrastructure architect.

By evening/weekend, I'm a weblogger, I'm a photographer, I'm a gamer, sometimes I'm a coder, a martial artist, an entrepreneur, and a general technology enthusiast.

I live in New Zealand - so posts might appear at times that look strange to you folk in the rest of the world.

Most of my weblogging time goes on the two sites I run for Creative Weblogging - Digital Shot which is about Digital Photography, and On Storage which focuses on the enterprise storage systems technologies and market. I also intermittantly maintain my Scroll of Emptiness, which is my personal weblog.

So please, enjoy whichever of these sites you've stumbled upon, and feel free to get in touch if you have any suggestions, comments, critiques or questions.
