Blogging’s siren song seduced Nicholas when he was just a boy. Now a man (or, more accurately, a junior at NYU), he professionally writes about all sorts of important stuff, from cellphones to cellphone accessories. After he graduates he plans to wander around the Third World in search of “meaning” or something else of substance.

When he’s not blogging about gadgets he’s either watching European soccer (Sevilla!) or complaining about things he has no control over. You can find him on Facebook, or, failing that, John’s house.
