About
Personal
About Clay Carson… Well, I have survived my teenage years and have reached what they call ‘manhood’ (21). I currently dwell in a corner of my parent’s home in Arlington, Texas (a situation which should be changing soon) where I spend most of my time on the web, playing video games, taking photographs, and living life as any other 21 year old.
Blogging
Since starting this site I have learned quite a bit about things on the web. I have struggled through coding, been through plenty of design changes and undoubtably had fun. I started blogging in the summer of 2007 and since then have focused mainly on Apple/Mac related tips, applications, and productivity. However, more recently, I have moved to focusing more on some broader topics, the ways I get things done on the computer, as well as my photography.
The template for this site started as Grid Focus by Derek Punsalan of 5thirtyone.com. There isn’t much left of that theme for the modifications I have made.
My Life and Interests
My main interests lie in the field of technology. I love following tech news and enjoy all sorts of gadgets. Since receiving my first DSLR in 2007, I have taken a heavy interest in Photography and am continuing to learn and develop my abilities and knowledge. I am currently a student at The University of Texas at Arlington where I am studying Communication Technology. One of the most important parts of my life is my girlfriend, Carly. She is currently a student at Oklahoma University where she is excelling greatly in their Journalism department. If there is anything else you would like to know feel free to ask. I live a fairly normal and relaxed life and I am very grateful for everything that I am blessed with.
