I asked for a car, I got a computer.  Whether or not Ferris Bueller and I were born under the same bad sign has yet to be determined.

I am a 25-year-old graduate student and Editor at Large for DailyTech.com. I began writing on the internet in late 2000 after a good friend of mine introduced me to Anand Shimpi from AnandTech.com.  Three years later I had worked my way up to become the senior editor for the site. 

In early 2005, Anand and I worked hard to determine where a new website would show the most promise.  The AnandTech news section was pulling a million page hits per month or so, but as ardent fans of Slashdot and Engadget, both of us knew there was a large market for tech news.  DailyTech LLC was founded January 1, 2006 with new investors and the rest is essentially history. 

I currently live in Chicago while I finish up my advanced degree at the University of Illinois, Chicago.  As an undergraduate, I wrote several analytical price engines – one of which is still publicly available.  U.S. and European merchants also use much of my software and a portion of the royalties I receive from them goes into supporting DailyTech.

When I am not writing articles or writing code, I am almost always reading.   As always, I am reachable at kristopher@dailytech.com.
