I'm John. I'm one of the Community Connectors for Best Buy, and I look forward to learning from you how technology has changed your life and made it better. That's what a community is for, right? Howdy, neighbor! I'm a lifelong music fan and a computer enthusiast since 1998 when I got my first Macintosh. I'm a pen-and-ink illustrator and have developed new projects both on paper and in the electronic domain. It used to be that I listened to music through a component stereo system while I wrote or drew on a drafting table, but my advent into the computer domain really changed everything. Now, my computer serves as both my music system and my primary artistic toolset. In combination with software programs and a drawing tablet, I now create graphic art in the computer more than on paper. And during my creative expression, that same computer plays music from my CD collection - 35,000 songs and still growing. I dabble in digital photography, enjoy DVD movies (especially action and sci-fi) and TV shows, accessorizing my computer, reading books, houseplants, and being a cool dad for my daughter.
