About: Although a Seattle native, Tyler doesn't t fit that stereo type very well. He prefers Red Bull to Lattes, doesn't own a pair of birkenstocks, and has never hugged a tree in his life. As a life long Geek, he is pretty much addicted to anything that has to do with technology. He became hooked on HDTV in early '04, and hasn't looked back since. At his day job in the aerospace industry, he is never too far away from the latest news thanks to Google Reader on his iPhone. Tyler's vision for Format War Central is to provide a very diverse range of opinions, which he thinks really engages the readers and promotes vibrant discussions.See Authors Posts (186) | 3 Comments
