For me, growing up coding and computers and video games wasn't something that was cool, but it was something that I was always passionate about. I never let the fact that that wasn't something that was cool take me away from it.

I've always loved technology. Growing up, I loved Nintendo and video games.

I have a really terrible memory.

It's daunting to go back through the past, to read tweets and come across Facebook profiles of people who have passed away. It stirs up memories you never actually shared online or never will share online. It was a very emotional process.

I get e-mails daily from people asking me what major I chose in college, how I got started, what equipment I use, etc. Most of the e-mails are from young kids who are trying to figure out what they want to do when they grow up.

I like to experiment with different things and find different uses for them. New things pop up every day - Snapchat, Vine, Parasail.

The challenges of writing a book are very different from writing a blog or tweets. I've been writing a blog since I was in the 6th grade, so I had this style of writing that was definitely not proper for writing a book.

The Vampire Diaries' is my favorite show, so being on it was cool. I really wanted to be on all of my favorite shows, so I was on 'The Vampire Diaries', 'Law and Order', and 'House.'

I'm dating my iPhone.

I love mobile gaming. I love being able to take everything with me. If I start a game on my Wii U, say, I want to be able to pick it up on my DS and take it with me when I'm traveling.

I love doing all the tech videos, especially unboxings. That's usually my initial reaction to everything: I'm super excited, so getting to unbox a new gadget, so it's so exciting!

If there's something that you're passionate about, don't let other people take that passion away from you. If they tell you it's something you can't do, most likely you can do it, so don't give up.
