- Patrick is a firm believer that music technology may never surpass the invention of the iPod. And he's ready to die on that hill.
- He is, however, analog at heart, and spends much of his downtime tweaking, upgrading, and generally obsessing over the audio setup for his beloved turntable.
- Patrick continues to marvel at the myriad ways technology is both enhancing and destroying cinema as we know it.
Experience
Patrick has written professionally for the better part of the past decade, leaving behind the glorious hospitality industry to pen articles and essays covering tech, music, comics, and the film & television industries.

And he loves sharing his thoughts on each.
