Hello, I'm Evan. I write about tech from my perspective – that of the average tech geek, sometimes with my lawyer glasses on. You can also find me on Twitter and at my real-life job as a lawyer. MORE ABOUT ME.
Do you like to talk about tech, but feel like you’re stranded on an island? Guess what – you’re NOT alone. We here at 40Tech love to talk about tech, and we’re sure many of you in the community do as well. So, we’re setting up our first ever 40Tech community chat. Will it be huge? Will it flop?

Welcome to the new look for 40Tech. We’ll have a post up in the next few days with some information about the design.
