I’d like to send a warm welcome to the latest and greatest member of the Technabob family, Karen Merzenich. Karen has just joined our writing team, bringing her unique viewpoint and wit to the pages of this humble little website.

Karen Merzenich Writes for Technabob

She joins the Technabob ranks as a contributing author, and will be helping to bring you lots of offbeat and entertaining geek craft, design, and other fun stuff.

Karen is the founder and owner of MailboxTees, a t-shirt subscription service, and writes about tech, design, art, and shopping for the MailboxTees blog.

A former pastry chef, she also writes about food and cooking on off the (meat)hook. People are surprised to learn that this seemingly normal lass is actually a closeted sci-fi geek who has a full-size Galaga arcade game in her guest room, and who spends many a day and night trolling the deepest, darkest corners of the internet for obscure Stargate fan fiction.

Here are just a few of her initial Technabob posts, (with many more to come):

Anyone with a real live Galaga machine in their guest bedroom is cool in my book.

[Be sure to check out Karen's other websites: MailboxTees, MailboxTees blog, and off the (meat)hook.]

Awesome… isn’t she yer only new writer?

…Sounds like she’s definitely got the experience part down pat…

And can I be the first to go on record here by sayin’ she’s kindof a hottie?

Congrats, Karen!

@bk: dude, I’ll totally fight you to become Karen’s biggest fan. I say we have a dance off.

@Closet_Rat: sorry, but you’re far from the first to notice Karen’s hottieness. And just wait until encounter her style, her wit, and her unbelievable cooking. (OK, so that last one may be a bit hard to directly experience via the Intertubes.)
9. Zelda Lover | May 28th, 2008 at 3:35 pm

Indeed with the hottieness.
