About Gary

I’m a software quality assurance analyst. I’ve been in the software development industry for about 35 years. Before that I sold computers and software and did software consulting.

My interests are in technology, which includes Windows, programming, AI, phones, cameras, video game consoles, and more. I also love progressive rock, dogs, British and International crime shows, gardening, cooking, and a few other odds and ends.

I try to stay busy. I hate being idle. And I try to think about life, what it means, why we’re here, and if any of this matters in the grand scheme of things.

Me and my constant companion, Geordi
A close-up of a slim, modern game console standing vertically on a low-profile media shelf made of dark stained wood, its matte white casing contrasting with a glossy black center column illuminated by a soft blue status light. Next to it, a small row of game cases is neatly aligned, their spines forming a colorful but slightly blurred band. The wall behind is a smooth, neutral gray, with an ultra-thin TV above displaying an abstract, out-of-focus cityscape in cool tones. Soft, diffused evening lighting from recessed ceiling lights creates gentle highlights on the console edges and faint reflections in the TV screen. Photographic realism, shot at a three-quarter angle, conveying a clean, professional, tech-savvy gaming space.

Tech, Games, and Everything Between

I’m Gary Lucero. I started my journey with technology in the early 1970s with reel-to-reel tape recorders, record players, 8-track tapes, early cameras, and calculators. I became a hi-fi nut, then found video game consoles and computers in the early 1980s, and that was that!

Today, I spend my time tinkering mostly with software on Windows PCs, or video games on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. I am a huge fan of the Commodore Amiga and other old computers and love to explore them on the MiSTer FPGA.
