The JunkMan is Pat St-Arnaud,
previously known as editor of MacHome
Journal's HotTips and CD editor for MacHome.
Since it is a well-known fact that a Mac's
half-life is somewhat longer than that
of enriched Plutonium, the JunkMan's mission
is to find innovative, creative of simply
fun ways to recycle those poor, abandoned
CPU one may find on the side of the road
or buried in your closets, once in a while.
Aside from the MacHome venture,
Pat has been the guy you call about your
Mac problems for over 15 years. A graduate
of l'École des Hautes Études
Commerciales in Montréal, he left
a career as financial analyst and Federal
Agent for the Canadian Government to focus
on more rewarding ventures: Macintosh
support and service company MTEQC
and advertising/PR firm HELLSTONE.
Pat has written many contributions
both online and in print, spent a few
years as a volunteer and team leader for
the Fringe Festival (where he met his
long-time partner Kristi), and kept out
of trouble as a teenager by producing
The Rocky Horror Picture Show stage review
(where he also played the role of Eddie).
Staunch libertarian and underdog advocate,
he is NOT a Luddite - but then again,
he does not buy in the "happiness
through technology" mantra either,
and has no fear of controversial issues.
