Sean Bulger’s Summary
I am the Community Manager for Bigfoot Networks, I am a graduate of Michigan Technological University, I am a writer, I am a hobbyist game designer, I am an avid lover of technology, I am a philosopher on online communities, I am... well, I guess a lot of things. But who isn't? Suffice to say, I love technology. Specifically, I love technology that brings people together, allows greater communication, provides greater organization in our daily lives, and changes the way in which we live, learn, and view the world. Web development, game development, mobile technology, and more are all highly interesting to me.
