Hey there Currenteers! In case you missed it, last week we featured the crazy fantastic jeffissleeping (be sure to check it out for a seriously entertaining interview), and this week we have the mega bad ass bigloutech! I just love that his items are informative AND entertaining. My favorite is his right now (big surprise) is the World’s Largest Sandwich?? Because, really, who doesn’t want some of that?
Enough about what I like, he’s hear what bigloutech has to say-
Q: How did you find out about Current? What made you a fan?
A: I actually just stumbled upon Current when my cable provider updated the channel line up a few years back. Back then Current TV was just a series of pods and VC2 content with some Google stats mixed in between clips. I think what hooked me to Current was the variety of topics that were shown and the uniqueness and creativeness of the pods.
Q: Where do you look for stories to add to Current?
A: Pretty much any of the major news sites like CNN, Google News, BBC, plus various tech/gadget blogs like Gizmodo or Engadget.
Q: Okay–we gotta ask. How did you pick your username?
A: Actually, when I first signed up for current.com, the original name I wanted was biglou, but unfortunately that was already taken. I added the tech to the end because of my job as the tech of an audio post studio. Now I use bigloutech on all the sites I frequent.
Q: You post a variety of stories (which is awesome!), but is there something in particular that you’re really passionate about?
A: I guess I am most interested in anything to do with computers and new gadgets. Most of my work day is spent in front of my computer so I am constantly reading about the newest technology and gear.
Q: If you could have one Superhero power, what would it be and why?
A: I think telepathy would be a cool power to have. It would be interesting to be able to read other people’s minds. Plus I could steal ideas and be rich!
So there you go guys! Be sure to check out bigloutech’s content on his profile and if you bump into on Current, say hello!
