One of the joys about working at Zappos is the freedom to be ourselves through our own personal style. Style shouts! Individuals identify themselves through their personal style. Taking the chaos out of the closet and using clothing as a celebration to create personal mythology or legend is something I have been fascinated by.

What is someone trying to say through their style?

Join me in the discovery. Each week I will take an employee from Zappos and find out their personal psychology through their favorite outfits.

Today we study the mythology of Matt T. : Content Coordinator for Electronics at Zappos.com.





How would you define your look?
Proletariat-chic

Playstation, Wii, or Xbox?
I'm a huge online gamer, so Xbox 360 for sure. I have a PS3 as well, but the PlayStation Network isn’t as vibrant and established as Xbox LIVE.

Is Blu-ray the best way?
Downloadable HD movies are my preferred method of viewing. Blu-ray is super awesome since it is (almost) the only way to view 1080p content with pure surround sound.

Hard or floppy disk?
Hard of course.

External, flash, or internal hard drive?
Internal hard drive. The transfer speeds are much faster than external USB drives and flash drives are too expensive for the storage space.

Handheld, marine, or vehicle GPS device?
I bring it old school with the analog map. But I would go with the Mio C520 because of the clean, sleek design and all of the features it includes for an affordable price

Which camera?
The Canon PowerShot A590 IS. Great combination of performance and quality.
