Introductory Post: New Blogger Kelly Guimont
Howdy! (That's a traditional greeting from Out West.) I'm a new blogger here on TUAW. I made an appearance here from Macworld 2008 when I demonstrated software on the show floor. I've been a Macintosh user in some form or another since very early on (I drew with a turtle and don't understand versions of Oregon Trail that are anything but green), and I'm currently Leopard Certified.I live in Portland, Oregon, which is a great place to be a Mac Geek since we have three Apple retail stores and loads of Mac places besides. My current setup is a Unibody MacBook and an iPhone 3G, but I still get some mileage out of my 80gb iPod and I still have a PowerBook G4 and a blueberry iMac DV around in case I need them -- you never know!
My house has a lot of gadgetry (right now the network has about a dozen IP addresses assigned) and general geekery: Star Wars, Disney, and Lord Of The Rings tidbits are all over the place.
As writing goes, I've written all sorts of things for all sorts of reasons/groups/publications such as Mac|Life and local computer magazines, blogged here and there, and written short stories and other pieces just for fun.
In my copious amounts of free time, I help organize events within the Portland Tech community including Open Source Bridge and Beer and Blog, and I am the head of the Portland WordPress User Group, spreading the blogging love wherever I can.
I am very excited to be part of TUAW and as I'm sure anyone who knows me will tell you, I can't wait for you to hear what I have to say! :)

It's NPH entering in on a unicorn! It's epic!!!

Mostly I just like the picture, that's all there is to it. Well, that and the fact that it's hard to make a bigger entrance than barefoot on a unicorn!

LOL. I believe that is Neil Patrick Harris from Harold and Kumar... I have no idea what its relevance might be to the context of this post, but I really don't care. It made me chuckle.
Anywho, glad to see someone else who is old enough to have used Turtle to draw!

I believe that would be Neil Patrick Harris riding a unicorn, as he often does while on lots of mushrooms.

One of those is a mythical creature of legend and fantasy ...the other is a unicorn.

I will be religiously reading your articles, thanks to, mostly, the picture of Neil Patrick Harris (NPH for short) on a white unicorn.
