The Newest Newbie on Steam Street

My name is Nick and I’m a procrastinator. See the date on my sign photo, below. Enough said.

Tracks in the snow

Where and Who

This month marks 20 years in Flagstaff, Arizona USA. This is the other Arizona – Think pine forests, mountains, and four seasons at 7,000 feet (2100 meters).

Last of the snow?

This month marks my 20th anniversary living in Flagstaff, Arizona USA. This is the other Arizona – Think pine forests, mountains, and four seasons at 7,000 feet (2100 meters). I currently work for Northern Arizona University as a web designer and project manager. I started a web design firm when I moved here and ran it full time for 16 years. My formal education has spanned international affairs, Spanish, photography, and creative writing. My first novel has been stalled at 90 pages for about three years. I tend to study what I like and learn my work on my own or on the job.

I lived in the UK for a short time and have traveled to much of Latin America, Hong Kong, Hungary and Scandinavia. I’m from Alaska, grew up in California and the rest you know. I’m 54 and the DNA test says I’m Russian, Finnish, English, Scandinavian, German, and Native Alaskan. I love audiobooks and finish one about every four days. I enjoy cocktails and coffee and conversation.

Why and What

I heard about Steemit from Hive account@jerrybanfield, who I came across while researching online courses. I decided to uses my real name instead staying hidden. I’m intrigued by the opportunity to earn from blogging, have been looking for an online international community, and I’m super curious about blockchain and cryptocurrency. I aim to blog about technology, the strange and the wonderful, aviation, minimalization, productivity, and maybe post photos, reviews, and short stories. Here's a story, published online in 2011: Trawler
