What exactly is SHOCM?
It’s a name that was given to me. I don’t think there is any other SHOCM in the world so I kept it. It is an acronym. If you are curious what it stands for email me and I will tell ya shocmATshocmDOTcom.

It’s pronounced show-come.

As for the site, I am hoping this will be my little place on the Internet where I will post all the tech and geeky stuff that interest me.

Hope you enjoy it.
