About me

  • Occupation:
    Senior editor, HDTV
  • Short bio:
    At a young age I became enamored with gadgets, and was encouraged by a father who subscribed to (and actually bought stuff from) the DAK Industries Incorporated catalog. I eventually noticed that my initials were DAK, which I took as a life-changing sign. I would combine gadgets and writing and perhaps move from Oregon to NYC in the process. Everything worked according to plan, and here I am. Maybe someday I'll write about something else, but nowadays when I get home I'm too tired.
