Who am I?

Thomas Loughlin

Just a guy that likes playing with new things on the internet. Graduated with a degree in Bioinformatics from Baylor University but most of my time is spent in the Financial industry.

Primary reason for writing these blogs is to remind me what I want to play with next and also keep me from forgetting any troubles along the way.
