Who is this tecgirl?
I'm a photographer, a full-time student, a VIP hostess, an EMT, a videographer, and a former blogger for the San Francisco Metroblog. I enjoy working behind the camera as well as in front of it. Read my daily ramblings at my personal photoblog.
I've been on the web since 1998, and actively blogging since 2001. I hate the words blog and blogging, but yeah, I've been at it for quite a while.
I've sold Vespa scooters, skateboards, and snowboards. I've worked for a dot-com - as a graphic designer, they paid me Phat cash and then layed the whole company off. I've even worked for the California Department of Corrections. I helped pay the bills. They still buy balls & chains.
