Hey everybody!
I'm honored to be among all of you that have been granted the privilege to join the beta. Today is my first official day after being approved.
My name is Adam and I am currently out in Arizona, USA but was born in New York. I am currently 26 years old and I studied Computer Security and Forensics at a university in upstate New York.
I have a number of hobbies ranging from little to no physical activity to a ton of physical activity being required. I enjoy swimming, playing squash, running, working out, photography and playing a number of different video games.
I really enjoy taking scenic pictures since my artistic abilities when snapping photos of a human subject is pretty lackluster if I'm being honest. Here are some of the pictures I've taken (scaled down) with my Canon EOS Rebel T1i :
Blue Angels Air Show
Beautifully bloomed flower
Overlooking the Dead Sea in Israel (if memory serves correctly)
Here's a picture of my doge Lily that's about 2.5 years old (not taken with my Cannon):
As for some of the games I enjoy playing they are League of Legends, Counter Strike 1.6 and Global Offensive, and Destiny 2.
I have been invested in cryptocurrencies as well for some time in the sense of I've been tracking how a few of them are doing since conception. Only recently as of a few months ago did I really begin to start trading and mining Bitcoin, Ethereum, SiaCoin, and Litecoin.
I am always up for chatting with anyone if they are interested. You can find me as an IRC operator over on the QuakeNet IRC Network as "FalconSpy" - feel free to drop by and give me a shoutout. If you don't have an IRC client you can use our web based client via http://webchat.quakenet.org - my channel is #FalconSpy but you can find me in #quakenet and a couple of other bigger channels.

Hi Adam! Welcome to Steem! That's a great catch on the Blue Angels formation! Love it! We were supposed to have the Blue Angels perform here last year, but this is where the accident happened that took the life of one of the pilots just outside of Nashville.
I didn't realize IRC was still a thing! That's crazy! I used IRC hell, 20 years ago!
Most Steemians use steemit.chat and or Discord to chat with each other. I hope you are open to checking out one or both of those platforms. Click into my blog where you will find a list of Discord servers in my Engagement piece I published last night.
Enjoy your time on Steem! Looking forward to having you here!

The Blue Angels happened to be doing the airshow in Rochester, NY where I went to college over one summer. They were doing there fly bys over the campus since it was near the airport conveniently enough!
IRC is still definitely a thing and is used in a couple of the newer technologies out there but has a new GUI, layout, and different kind of user experience. Most of the large IRC networks like freenode, efnet, QuakeNet, Rizon, and a few others are still around and kicking.
I'll definitely checkout the steemit.chat (hoping it's IRC like) if not there is always Discord which I know has an IRC like aspect to the chat channels. I do use Discord as well for clan activities for the games I play.

Excellent! Sounds like you will be off to a good start.
If you want to find some of the Steem discord channels, head to my blog and check out the People are People post from Wednesday evening, I have a link in there to a pretty good list of Steem related Discord Servers.
See you in the chat rooms!

I don't think there is a right or wrong time to post an introductory post, it is just hit and miss as to whether anyone will see it.
