Hi Steemit! I'm Connor from Alberta, Canada

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)


Hi all! I'm a farm kid born and raised on the Canadian prairies. I make my home in Fort McMurray where I work in supply chain management.

I'm passionate about technology and innovation, especially disruptive ideas that can make our world better. I enjoy building and tinkering with PCs, hacking Android/Linux and experimenting with VR and gaming immersion hardware. I also mine and trade in cryptocurrencies.

I have a slightly artistic side. I studied piano and music theory for many years. I enjoy reading classic novels, sci-fi and fantasy, history and current affairs. I also write creatively and I've recently begun channeling my wry and corny sense of humour into my own satire news site, www.dailyspill.ca, that explores affairs and issues related to the Canadian Oilsands.

I'm married to a beautiful Kenyan woman, and in my travels I've fallen in love not only with her, but with Africa. I'm especially passionate about innovation and ideas that solve problems and improve life for everyday people in developing nations.

Another passion for me is community theatre. I've had the privilege to be involved in dozens of small-town drama productions, ranging from Steel Magnolias to the Pink Panther. A small regret: I have yet to be involved in a Shakespearean production!

Hey 👋🏿 glad I stumbled upon you! I am also a new Steemian. I joined in October but only started posting and engaging a week ago. I am also Canadian 🇨🇦! I’m in VanCity. & I too, am in a interracial marriage with an Amazing man named Kenny. You’ve definitely got an upvote and new follower in me, and I’d love to keep in touch!

Welcome from the other side of the Rockies! You're not a Jack Vance fan by any chance?

Hey 👋🏿I’m Canadian too! In Vancouver now but was born in Alberta.

Hey Clueless. Awesome, yea I'm in Vancouver too. Great city to be in, unless you're trying to buy a place!

I've never read Jack Vance to be honest. I will rectify that immediately! Any recommendations on what to start with?

Hey Nucleartoad. If you like fantasy/sci-fi, hopefully you will find enjoyment in Jack Vance's old-school fantasy.. I grew up on this stuff so I'm biased. My favorite are two from The Dying Earth Series - "Eye's of the Overworld" & "Cugel's Saga".

Greetings from the UK Connor and welcome to Steemit. Great introduction by the way. While you are here feel free to ask any questions if you need a hand and I'll be more than happy to help out. As a tip, when you join Steemit you have a set of keys on your account, always store back up copies of these off line and only log in on your posting key as this keeps your account safe. Things like your active key or master password (the first password you were given to log in on) should only be used for purposes of account recovery and financial transactions. If you log in on these it broadcasts them on the block chain making your account vulnerable, whereas logging in on your posting key keeps them safe and allows you to vote, post, and comment. Again, if at any point you ahve any questions then feel free to ask. Many blessings and Steem on. :)

Awesome advice, thanks!

Hello.I present you my method of earning free crypto:)

Ok so here is my method.I use it and i got good results and i would like to share it with you.

Here are the steps.

1)Make a Coinpot wallet here: https://coinpot.co/

Wy a coinpot wallet? Because it lets you withdraw instantly from the faucets i will be presenting you.On other faucets you need to gain a quantity of cryptocurrency to withdraw.Here you withdraw each 5 minutes DIRECTLY to your wallet.

2)After you have made your wallet with your mail adress you sign up with that mail adress to the websites below.It will sync it with your coinpot wallet so you can withdraw instantly.
