My name is Shane Conder, as you’ve probably already figured out. This is the third “About Me” page I’ve written. You’ll see some familiar parts, some new parts, and some parts that are missing ”“ either because they don’t apply anymore or aren’t important enough to list at this time.

I'm married to the wonderful Lauren Darcey. With her I've had many pleasant and wonderful experiences that have made my life much better. We've enjoyed each others company for many years now among a broad diversity of hobbies we share, including traveling, gardening, road tripping, hiking, photography, writing, and watching movies among many other things.

Earlier this year, we finalized our move from California to New Hampshire. We now live in the Mount Washington Valley area of the White Mountains. This location provides us with a great environment for pursuing our hobbies and work. Bit, our rabbit, made the move out with us and is happily enjoying one of the best rooms in the house and considers it hers. She enjoys sitting in the sun and eating fresh herbs and berries from the garden.

We’re both working together on a variety of different things, including mobile software, writing, and photography. All of this work lines up will with our hobbies. This makes both of us happy.

I’m a gadget freak. This manifests itself in wanting shiny, new, electronic doodads. Usually, this means I want the latest phone or laptop, but is not limited to such ordinary items.

I enjoy reading tech and gadget blogs and listening to related podcasts. I also enjoy fiddling with the latest new technologies, such as Amazon Web Services, Android, iPhone, Google App Engine, and other shiny, new technologies that activate the creative side of my brain.

I’m still not very active within the amateur radio community despite blogging on a URL that is from my call sign. I’ve been threatening lately to be more active, though. Maybe some day.

Feel free to contact me via email: You can also post a comment to get in touch with me.

This is by no means complete. My interests are both diverse and very dynamic. Someone who reads all of my blog entries on all of my sites still won't get some of my interests correctly. Hey, after all, this is all public -- I'm not going to give every detail away!
