About Me

Howdy!

My name is Bill. After following a rather meandering path, I now work in the field of Distance Education. I build, design, support, and teach others how to incorporate technology into Emergency Services training. I know, cool huh?

My employer, a publisher of Fire, EMS, & Law Enforcement textbooks, has recently made a radical shift away from being a traditional “print” publisher to becoming a digitally-driven one. That makes it a great time to be a geek in my world

Anyway, it’s little surprise that I have an unhealthy love of gadgets, and my iPhone (after being rehabilitated of my “Crackberry” problem)…

Not to limited by one “title”, I’m also a Paramedic, Injury Prevention Presenter, Emergency Care Instructor, budding photog-geek, and perhaps my proudest accomplishment, the father of two adorable children who are my world. My wife is pretty damn kick-ass too.

I’m living in Taxachusetts, although I’m originally from Connecticut, by way of Florida…which is to say that I know what my “R’s” and “H’s” are…Sorry to disappoint, but despite my proximity to Boston, I don’t “Pahk da Caaah in Haaavad Yahd”, I do however, “Park the car in Harvard Yard”.

Feel free to email me if you’ve ever found yourself with a headache after trying to follow a conversation between two native “MassSpeak” types…I’ll be your translator…

Send mail to: really.what.the.hell(AT)gmail.com for translation services…

Why the blog? Why does anyone start a blog? “Because now I have a microphone, and you don’t, SO YOU WILL LISTEN TO (ERR, READ) EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY!” (Props to Adam Sandler and “The Wedding Singer“)

Seriously, I want to document the funny things in life, the stuff I do daily, the things that matter most to me and if possible - to dominate the world with my random musings about all things geek, with a keen eye for those items which might appeal to, or make the job of a dad even MORE fun!
