ABOUT ME!
> WHOAMI
I go by Maddox, but Mad or Maddy's fine too! I'm an ITC student from the midwest (US) and I drool over computer hardware/software, video game consoles, and web chicanery. I'm AGAB - assigned geek/gamer at birth and use they/she pronouns. Most would describe me as stoic and introverted. I'm also a self-shipper with fictional characters who are my friends or queerplatonic partners. <3
> WHEN DID YOU GET INTO TECH?
I grew up on the rural side of my state and became fascinated with the devices we had available at a young age. Our family computer ran Windows 2000, which would be used by me frequently to play CD-ROM games (mostly low-budget "edutainment" media). When I wasn't playing a round of Peggle or some kid painting software, I'd be exploring the graphical desktop interface. There was never a point where I lost interest in learning, and I believe that is what keeps me invested in all things ITC. Computers - their peripherals, components, and software - mobile devices, and other gadgets I've gotten my hands on, are fun to examine what their function is and how they work behind the scenes. That childlike wonder that I had is still present today, and I hope to give others that same feeling as I assist them with technical issues.
> HOBBIES? INTERESTS?
Outside of tech stuff, my hobbies include gaming, creative writing (short stories, fanfiction, the occassional insane ramblings in my notes app), reading, traditional art, and watching movies/shows. I also like collecting music (cds + mp3 files), plushies, and keychains!
