- Patrick is a firm believer that music technology may never surpass the invention of the iPod. And he's ready to die on that hill.
- He is, however, analog at heart, and spends much of his downtime tweaking, upgrading, and generally obsessing over the audio setup for his beloved turntable.
- Patrick continues to marvel at the myriad ways technology is both enhancing and destroying cinema as we know it.
