My name is Dave Peterson and Posts by Dave is my personal blog.  I’m an active participant in the Internet gadgets-and-tech community, and post assorted thoughts on those subjects at my tech blog, GadgetyTech.  By day, I’m a software developer at a major corporation in Seattle, Washington.  By night, I hang out with my digital friends in spaces like Twitter and Ustream.  I’m fascinated by the technology-enabled death of distance that allows close friendships to flourish among people who live thousands of miles apart and may have never been in the same room together.
