The geek among geeks: technologist, television host, magazine columnist, blogger, author, and entrepreneur. In short, he's a technology renaissance man for the 21st century. Formerly the host of an internationally-broadcast live daily show on personal computing, he is one of the Internet's best known and respected speakers on technology topics ranging from Windows software to RSS. Every month, his column can be read in Computer Power User Magazine, and Chris recently authored Online! The Book (ISBN: 0131423630) with John C. Dvorak. For more on Chris, go here.
Our resident "Bob" is in love with a nurse and has a fondness for belting out songs about seafaring and whiskey (arguably inappropriate in most social situations). He's arm-wrestled robots and won. He was born in a lighthouse on the storm-tossed shores of an island that has since been washed away and forgotten, so he's technically a citizen of nowhere. He's never killed in anger. He once underwent therapy for having an alien in his face, but he assures us that he's now feeling "much better." Fogarty also claims that he was once marooned along a tiny archipelago and survived for months using only his wits and a machete, but we find that a little hard to believe.
Latthana "Ponzi" Indharasophang comes to us straight from the mortgage industry, where she worked tirelessly as a funding officer (and mobile notary) for several years. Once she saw the promise of what the Internet could bring her personal and professional life, Ponzi decided to make the leap and go virtual with Lockergnome. Her days are spent taking care of brass tacks - ensuring that all business elements of the company are being met without fail. Whether it's polishing last-minute details for our annual conference or making sure the bills are paid on time, she tackles administrative tasks with an intrepid spirit. Ponzi acts as the voice of reason in this organization, not having much experience with technology. Her point of view is refreshing, unique, and vital to our ongoing success. She loves reading fashion magazines, shoe shopping, and eating mini gummi bears.
Matt has been helping individuals learn how to use their computers for many, many moons, and he plans on doing so for many, many more. Aside from the time he took a short break from the computer world to pursue other endeavors, he's been tinkering with machines since he first received his TI 99-4A running BASIC as a youngster. More recently, he's been involved with PC repair and maintains a large catalog of contacts from which he's gained a great deal of insight.
More recently, Matt has been a featured guest on Tech Watch Radio, a public speaker on technology, and guest interviewer for IT Conversations in addition to his work here at Lockergnome. When he is not driving Chris and Bob up the wall with his constant need for attention, he can be found working on the IT Professionals newsletter, Linux Fanatics, and the Web Developers newsletter as well. As if that were not enough to guarantee that he is a geek to the core, he also maintains his own little corner of the Web called Ctrl-Alt-Del. There you can stay up to date on a variety of technology related subjects that include his upcoming comic strip "Phil, the IT guy."
Brandon Watts hails from an unglamorous suburb of North Georgia. When not on the computer, he can usually be found eating, sleeping, or doing both at the same time. He's written technology content for several print and online establishments. Brandon is also the creator of the programming language Leopard.
Leopard has received numerous awards and has been labeled an "essential download" by reviewers. It only took several threats to get them to say it, but they said it nonetheless. Heís even been called "the next Bill Gates" by the media, but he wonít believe it until he starts releasing several hundred delayed security updates. Brandon, being a nice guy, is the primary writer of our Windows Fanatics "Gnewbie Gnook," so feel free to bug him with questions you'd be afraid to ask meaner people!
He was born to be digital. No, really, it's true! His father spent most of his working life with IBM and headed their Non-Mechanical Memory Development program for years. He even headed the technical team that helped them win the anti-trust case in the '70s. So, you could say that computers were in his blood. He spent years trying to deny that, but by the time that college came around, he simply gave up. College showcased his two shining abilities: programming and being able to break programs (and operating systems, but that's another story). He's a digital dinosaur, at this point - having gotten his degree in 1970 - but it gives him a LOT of experience and a wide perspective when it comes to discussing computers. He's owned his own PC since the Apple II days and watched computing grow from being a toy for rich people and geeks to something kids get experience in from birth (or so it seems). He currently runs a 4 system network, there at home, and he's always trying for more. He almost has enough parts for another system, so that's his (not-so) New Year's Resolution.
Marc has been interested in technology since he was six years old - that's when his Dad taught him how to repair bicycles. Eventually he started racing them - he likes to go fast, whatever it is he's doing (well, maybe not when doing a couple of things :-) ). He's been playing with computers since 1996 - when he got a Windows 3.1 box and upgraded it to 95 - and was scared to click on the Start button, for fear that he'd break something. He started asking friends and reading, and eventually returned to college in 2000, taking a two-year diploma program in NT 4 networking and database design that was completed in ten months. Since school he's been working in the IT industry and for the last four years has run his own company, repairing computers on the customers' sites and providing other IT services. He currently owns far too many computers (and wants more), and in his spare time he tries to keep his cars running.
Diana is currently an independent contractor providing both technical writing and consulting services. Prior to this, she worked as a senior systems consultant and technical trainer. Over the past few years, Diana has managed to author several MCSE study guides. Although her focus and passion is on the Information Technology industry, she also holds a bachelor's degree in education. Of course, this was due to a slight twist of the arm by her mother after graduating from high school. Currently, Diana runs her own company, DKB Consulting Services. The main focus of the company is on developing certification training courseware, online practice exams, as well as content delivery. When Diana isn’t writing, teaching, or writing, she can be found enjoying her spare time with her 7-year-old son, traveling, or enjoying a good (non-technical) book.
Jared Hudgins emerged into the world with DOS in one hand, and an affinity for "Lemmings" in the other. Some believe him to have roots with an indian tribe due to his obsession with Apache - but of course, that's just speculation. Jared hit the web in 1996 and never looked back. Since then, he's fine tuned his skills as a web developer, graphic artist, and writer. Fiction flows through his veins, but his interest in technology and tech writing make up the other vital parts of his body. Jared has been the leader of two web hosting companies, briefly the overseer of a technical support company, and a published author. Additionally, he loves to give tech advice and will always help if the need arises. When Jared isn't online, he can typically be found...online, yet always among friends.

Originally from Cedar Falls Iowa, Eric Myszka grew up in the small town with the freedom of nearby vast fields and the bustle of the big city simultaneously (with two bowling alleys and a Donutland!). In the summer of 1996, Eric met a homeless, starving, down-on-his-luck, short, Italian-looking dude who believed in the power of the PC. Realizing that he was incredibly smart, and that the Teke house was coming up short on rent every month, Eric promptly moved Chris Pirillo into the Chapter room and two weeks later "The Lockergnome" was born. Eric graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a BA in Public Relations that respectively started to go right out the window when he got interested in film and video production in early 1998. In the summer of 2000, he made the move to Los Angeles and officially began the long journey into the entertainment industry (not adult... yet). Currently, he is an Executive Producer of the cable show "Senior Heroes of America" and produces low-budget independent films with his banner film company, Squinty Pictures. In his spare time, he sits around dreaming of new videos to air on Lockergnome: "Behind the Computer" and the "Geeks Gone Wild" sagas being two of them.
Meryl K. Evans, two-syllables-not-one-and-rhymes-with-Cheryl. Meryl writes, slices, dices, and edits. She has written, edited, and contributed to AbsoluteWrite, The Dallas Morning News, Digital Web Magazine, InformIT, InternetVIZ, eNewsletter Journal, Shavlik’s The Remediator, Sams, MarketingProfs, and others. She came home from overnight camp 1980 to something that changed her life, an Apple ][+ with no lower case letters. She has BBSed where she met Paul and has surfed on the ‘net since 1993. The native Texan lives with her three young Snaves (read backwards) in Plano, a heartbeat north of Dallas where the stories about the city's people are tall tales, most of it anyway.
Candi is a card-carrying member of the Pennsylvania chapter of Help Desk Analysts of America and has been told several times that she has a superiority complex (only half of this statement is true). She thinks she should create a support group for other Help Desk Analysts. When not contemplating the emotional damage inflicted by dealing only with people who have a problem, Candi enjoys pointing out other people's grammatical errors. It's a sickness, and there is no cure. A generous dose of editing takes out most of the sting, and Candi tries to be gentle when it's appropriate. You can read about Candi's Help Desk experiences here. Hey, maybe she really DOES think she's better than everyone else! Why else would she get such a kick out of telling other people what to do?
Sherman E. DeForest designed and constructed his first computer out of discarded pinball machines and jukeboxes when he was sixteen and never looked back. He migrated from Upper Michigan where it is cold to Southern California where the climate suits him better. He has been an academic, an entrepreneur, an author, and consultant (euphemism for unemployed). When he first saw VisiCalc, he gave up machine language programming for good. The future was obviously in what was then called high-level languages. His philosophy of using computers is that it should be fun, or at least enjoyable, or maybe not too bothersome, or at least mostly useful, or not so bad it drives you into the street, tearing your clothes off and shouting, "Back to nature - we've gone wrong!" Unlike many Americans, he owns more PCs than guns. On a recent vacation in rural Mexico, his wife did not even comment when he packed a laptop. It was a given. His passion is video and image processing - and people actually pay him to do it! What a trip! Getting paid for something you enjoy!

Roland J. "Rollie" Cole is a member of the bar in Washington State, Michigan, Missouri, and Indiana and is a graduate of Harvard Law School, but he has geek credentials, as well. One of his computer programs was published by Houghton Mifflin, and he has been very active in computer user groups serving as president, board member, or newsletter editor of a group in all of the states listed above. He also helped start the Association of Personal Computer User Groups and served as its first President. He also runs the Software Patent Institute, which operates a database of software descriptions.
When not computering or lawyering, Rollie is an amateur (and mediocre) musician - although his wedding vows included a promise never to sing in public, he plays clarinet and tenor saxophone just well enough to play in a hymn orchestra and a jazz band.
