This blog is maintained by me, Patrick McGinley. I am a 20-something guy currently living in Pittsburgh, PA. I am not a writer, nor do I really care to be. However, it is a means to an end – helping others with the information.

Generally, I try to be a jack of all trades. Good at many things as I tend to go through cycles and trends where I devote a lot of time, effort, and attention to something specific. Call them phases if you will. I enjoy it; I feel it makes me a well rounded person. Below has a list of some of these interests and areas of focus.
