Jerry Hildenbrand, contributing writer

Jerry Hildenbrand

Jerry is a Linux guru and has an unhealthy love-hate relationship with the Orioles. He's living semi-retired and happy in a tiny town in the Blue Ridge mountains with his lovely wife, Terry, and his amazingly bad dogs, Jo-Jo and Rex. Jerry likes to fish, but he's not very good at it. He's a longstanding member of the Free Software Foundation and a staunch supporter of Linux in the classroom. He uses the chorus of MMM-Bop for his phone ringtone. He's @gbhil on twitter. Find all of Jerry's posts here. You can e-mail him at jerry.hildenbrand@androidcentral.com.

Jared DiPane, contributing writer

 Jared DiPane

Jared comes from a three-year tenure of owning a BlackBerry and finally decided to take the plunge and check out a new operating system. While only being 23, he's been toying around with smartphones for about 4 years and loves to keep up with the newest information and is intrigued by it all. When not being a geek on his phone he loves to fish -- especially deep-sea fishing, as nothing beats the thrill of 40-plus-inch fish on the line. Besides all of that, he's completely random and can be found on twitter @drm2blv and his posts can be found here. You can e-mail him at jared.dipane@androidcentral.com.
