About Me

Hello, I am Chris Lentz a 25 year old technology blogger from Atlanta, Georgia. My true passion's in life are technology, gadgets, web development, and movies. I started blogging back in September of 2007 for various technology news blogs.

After writing for various sites, I decided to launch ATLChris.com which is a technology and internet blog with a little bit of personal stuff tossed in! I will be blogging about technology news, hardware and software reviews, random movie reviews, as well as personal rants and editorials! I fell in love with technology at a very young age when my dad first bought a Windows 3.1 machine. My first website I ever created was back in May of 2004. I created the site using Microsoft Frontpage and the free hosting service Tripod. Since then I have learned to script HTML, PHP, CSS, and JavaScript.

My Gear

My main computer is a 15.4" Macbook Pro (Fall 2008) 2.4GHz/4GB/250GB, I purchased this laptop in October of 2008. Along with this laptop I use a HP 22" widescreen high definition monitor, a Logitech MX Revolution mouse, an Apple wired full size keyboard, a 2.1 Logitech sound system, a 750GB miniStack v3 external hard drive, and a 300GB W/D external hard drive.

In May 2008 I purchased a Nikon D40 Digital SLR Camera. You can check out my photo collection, which consist of product images, general photography, and some personal/family photos, on Flickr. I still consider myself an amateur photographer, but I am slowly learning.

On top of being a huge techie, I also have a true passion for movies. In light of that, I would like to introduce you to my Home Theater System:

• 50" Samsung "Touch of Red"" 1080p Plasma Television
• HD Tivo w/ 300GB HDD
• Sony PlayStation 3 w/ IR Receiver (Doubles as a Blu-Ray Player!)
• Onkyo 5.1 Dolby Digital DTS Surround Sound System
• Logitech Harmony One Remote

ATLChris.com Details

ATLChris.com is proudly hosted on a Media Temple dedicated virtual (dv) server. Media Temple prides themselves on providing uninterrupted service and award winning customer support. With Media Temple, I will never have to worry about ATLChris.com going down as it grows and develops a larger user basis!

I am also going to be using a new web statistics program, called mint. This web application was created by Shaun Inman. You can learn more about it at HaveaMint.com. It provids more then enough information for me to understand where my readers come from and what they are interested in.

ATLChris.com is also using a new state of the art discussion system called Disqus. This new commenting/discussion web application, I am hoping this will help to develop more of a community feel to my site. I respect all comments, positive or negative. You all are as much a part of this site as I am!

As of October, 2008 ATLChris.com has started using a new advertising management company. With traffic growing at an alarming rate, I need to explore different methods to try and get this site to at least pay for itself. I try to be discrete with the banner ads, I don't want them to be in the way, because the site and its content is priority #1. I do ask though, that if you enjoy ATLChris.com please show your appreciation by visiting my sponsors. Those ads will help this site to stay alive.
