I go to the beach or for a nice long ride on my motorcycle.
How did you get into computers?
When in grammar school, a friend of mine had an Atari 400 which we played a text-based adventure game. We started to change the code and it was all down hill from there.
Ben will be responsible for keeping our internal IT stuff straight and clearing paper jams. Welcome to the Backblaze family, Ben!
