What is unique that's not in your bio?
I have a scar on my forehead from a short battle with a wall corner when I was one. Six stitches later, I admitted defeat. The wall won.
How do you define cool?
Something that sparkles and catches the eyes and hearts of many. It has to be relatable so everyone who knows it, understands it and believes it to be something extraordinary.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
There's no real secret. I spend a bunch of time browsing on the Internet as it is, so when I come across something I want to share, I do so. When it's something totally awesome, the trend almost writes itself .. almost. ; )
What is your favorite trend?
Anything techie or fashion related. Maybe even both!
What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
Write about something you're interested in and love what you write. When you're interested, it adds a nice finishing touch to the piece, making others interested too!
How do you reset to be creative?
SLEEP. And a boost of coffee or tea in the mornings definitely gets me going.
What inspires or excites you?
Music. And new technology. The Apple Store is my wallet's arch nemesis.
Predict something awesome for 2020?
I'm sure Apple would have come out with the iPhone 15G by then. I'll be waiting.
