IT'S ALIVE!! ALIVE!!
Technobabble is just that - my ramblings on/about technology.
I'll cover Tech in general, gaming, what's new, and what I've heard about.
And I'll sprinkle in tips, tricks, and techniques to get that extra ounce out of you hardware, software, etc...

Everyday I get questions about tech, in all it's forms.
This is my way of putting that infomation out there for everyone to glean off.
If this proves to work well you'll be able to come back and learn something new all the time!

That's part of my drive -- I'm constantly learning and I would hope you do the same. 8^)
