Tom's Technical Side

While I am not cooking up new recipes, I spend my days helping people with technology challenges with their PC's, Mac's, SmartPhones or other tech toys. I get very frustrated with the "geeks" of the world who think it's cool to use a lot of technical jargon because they think it makes them look smart. There are technical terms I can't avoid but I do avoid them when I can. I like to keep things in plain English so people can feel comfortable about what we do.

I love to be creative when I am cooking and find that comes in handy when finding solutions to computer problems, as well.
