My Website

My Blog

Leslie Fishers interest in technology began while studying music at the University of Southern California. She quickly realized the value of utilizing computers for music mixing and recording. She grabbed her 300 baud modem, jumped on the Internet (before anyone really called it the internet) and started looking for music resources. She soon realized she was spending more time discovering technology than playing music so she changed her major and tried to figure out what geeky thing she could do for the rest of her life.

My opinions and thoughts

Experimenting with Smart Crafting

I organise

I am a Mobile Solution Designer for one of the major Telecommunications company within New Zealand. I was apart of the engineering team that built the XT network within New Zealand. I have created and helped to maintain Gaming Generation a gaming website for all types of gamers (now closed). I have put together various websites in my spare time with open source software for non-profitable organisations. In my spare time I do Arts & Crafts including sewing, painting and any thing I can get my hands into. I'm currently teaching myself how to sew electronics into materials (smart crafting).
