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):

• Humanoid Robot Learns to Make an Omelet
• Legend of Zelda Shoes for all you Link Wannabees
• Control your TV with your Watch; Look Like a Dork

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