I’m very excited to say that I’m joining the staff at @SignalAkron as an education reporter. I’ve always set out to do reporting that matters to the people I come from, and there’s few opportunities to do that better than in my home city.

I’ll be in the area next month and would love to hear of your fave food spots or sights we shouldn’t miss 👀

Also, maybe a quick “hi” over coffee one morning!?

Photogs: what SSD brand do you trust most?

I got a Sandisk SSD at the beginning of the year, and it’s already corrupted. Looking at Lacie now. Any other brands to consider?

[kassi filkins 🦦🦭 @kassifilkins]

@heatherbimages @andrewdolph Really glad I asked, because I never would have thought Samsung would be as highly recommended as it is!
