Valley Tech Talk Blog Entries


Hi, my name is Shaine Mata and I do geeky things for a living.

On a geekness scale from 1 to 10, I'd say that I'm about an 8.

There are some amongst us here in the Rio Grande Valley who completely dominate technology, or practice the black arts of computer programming.

I'm not that much of a geek. Let's just say that, like you, I don't care to know how the technology works. I want it to do what it is supposed to do when I need it.

Technology has to have a purpose. It should solve more problems than it creates.

I'll share what I learn on this blog.
