Welcome to this crazy experience. The editors at Lockergnome have been gracious enough to grant me this opportunity to share my experiences and tips with everyone through this amazing resource. The age that we find ourselves in now is quite interesting. We have new challenges and experiences unlike any generation before us. Our education is shifting from simple face to face storytelling and book learning experience, to a more technologically charged one. Where in the past computers were taught in a special class usually given to students during one or two brief semesters, we are now brought face to face with the reality that more and more of our studies and resources are online. We as a people have to adapt to this crazy plugged-in age we are marching into at such a rapid pace.

Music is no longer a trip to the local record store for the latest hit record. It’s becoming a collection of 1s and 0s that fill our hard drives. The challenge that we face, is discovering the best technology to carry out our modern lives without breaking our somewhat limited bank accounts. It is hard to find a quality product at a fair price these days. It’s important that there be resources available to everyone that are not only kept up to date, but free of outside influence. In an attempt to assist with spreading some of this information, The Frugal Geek was created.

I’m Matt Ryan, a lifetime broadcaster, and an aspiring technology journalist. You won’t find perfectly formed sentences, carefully placed plugs, or enterprise-level editing here. I pride myself on being just another tech enthusiast, with stories to tell and experiences to share. I’m a blogger, a podcaster, and one of the cheapest geeks you’ll ever meet.

The Frugal Geek is about highlighting products that can be weighed not only by value, but by their usefulness and quality compared to other products in their category. It’s about surviving in the modern age and having the equipment you need to enjoy technology, without giving up a sense of quality and usefulness.

Thanks for checking out this blog,
