Born on a cold day in 1984 my eyes opened for the first time gazing hazily and it was clear, I knew nothing. Over time, however, that has changed. Hi, I’m Benjie Klein, currently enrolled as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin in the Mass Communications and Journalism MA program. After receiving a bachelors degree at Michigan State University I worked for the Detroit Tigers and Lions before taking a year off to travel (adventures can be learned about here). Now I embark on a journey to tell you not of myself, but the world of technology and the way it continues to shape the world we live in. In addition, every once in a while I’ll throw in some sports related commentary or just general ideas on life in a journalistic manner, of course.
As for the name, “Swittle Monkey” it’s not a real monkey. It’s a monkey of the mind, my mind to be exact. Started back in 2001, the Swittle Monkey was created as a small video production company working on anything from reunion videos to weddings. Now the Swittle Monkey exists as an expansive media conglomerate coming at you with new and exciting adventures, like this blog.
Have a fun time and feel free to leave any comments or suggestions.
