Gadget News and Product Reviews

Thomas joined GumballTech in January 2011. He always loved writing and has a love for the tech community so we think GumballTech and him make a good match! Like many of our tech brethren, all his life he’s been taking gadgets, electronics, any- and everything apart to see how they work and then maybe (or maybe not) putting them back together. He’s recently gave up my career goal of being an engineer to pursue a career in musical theatre, but he still have a passion for everything tech! Look out for his in depth reviews of the coolest gadgets and consumer electronics around! You can follow him on twitter to: @thomascountz.

I wish to, someday, work for a very big tech company of some sort. After college, I plan on moving to the Phoenix area of Arizona to pursue my passion. Below is my Twitter biography, which is basically a summary of everything I am:

Ben

As a recent convert from PC to Mac, I wanted to take advantage of my new computer. I had a YouTube account, so I started subscribing to tech reviewers. I actually stumbled upon the Gumball Tech YouTube channel, which was one of the first subscriptions I had. I wanted to try my hand at tech videos, so I started my own channel. This led to me to getting into Twitter, and also getting interested in posting on a website. Toady, I’m happy to have my own website, as well as being a writer for Gumball Tech. I hope some of this takes me somewhere in the future. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @aelandT3.

Abe

My birth name is Abraham but I put Abe on just about everything to save me about half a second of time. Which adds up fast when you think about how often you write, or type, your name. I’m 18 and live in Austin, TX which I love. I would have to say that I’ve grown into a major techie and like sharing what I learn with other people; hence the blogging. I have an iPhone 4 and recently switched to Mac, which I really enjoy.

Feel free to follow me on twitter or look me up on anything else. I seem to have gotten lucky and have been able to use abe or aberuiz.
