I new here

Hey everyone. I'm the new guy here. I'm not a programmer or anything. I've been reading xda for years. Finally decided to join in on all of the fun. Figured I might be able to help people and be helped myself. I currently live and am from Ohio. I've used android phones since the D1 and currently use the Blu studio 7.0 2nd version on the att network.

I run a blog, love working on cars and computers. I am 30 years old. Have 1 daughter 15 months old and have twins on the way, due April 3dd of next year. I read all of the rules, don't want to get in trouble lol. Hope to meet a lot of people on here that have the same interests as I do!

Nice to meet all of you!
