That means he remembers the "old days" of blogging (cue eye-rolling from the up-and-coming kids on the blogosphere), back when "meme" meant a sort of chain-post thing and blogging awards were one of the ways we interacted. Back then, a "carnival" wasn't this linky-fest thing, but something that involved actually reading every post *before* you posted it *by hand* into your blog post. And you know, back in those days, there were a handful of Catholic bloggers and we all pretty much knew each other. Sorta. I mean, really. Things they have a-changed in the blogosphere! For one thing, we're all on Twitter now (so is he, not surprisingly, as [@ktcat](http://twitter.com/ktcat)). This is our first Catholic Techie who won't even tell me his real name though we've been acquainted for years and though I'm conducting this interview. I might, in fact, be disinclined to interview K T Cat, except I know he's a real guy (or a real cat?). I can respect the not-sharing-your-name thing, especially when it's done as well as he's doing it. [![Catholic Techie KTCat](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Catholic-Techie-KTCat-372x400.jpg?width=372&height=400&name=Catholic-Techie-KTCat-372x400.jpg)](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Catholic-Techie-KTCat.jpg)   So let's learn about the illustrious K T Cat, shall we? ### **Tell us about yourself in five words or less.** > Catholic husband and father. ### **Of your pursuits, what's your favorite?** > Blogging! It's got to be. > > Outside of that, I have way more passions than I will have time to fully explore. I love watching sports (Newcastle United and the New Orleans Saints), I love to cook, I love Catholic theology (Chesterton and Lewis and Augustine and Aquinas), we like to entertain, I scuba dive with our boys, adore my wife, love my daughter, photograph sunsets and flowers … ### **When you think of the New Evangelization from your approach as a "Catholic Techie," what excites you? What makes you want to continue?** > I love how new technologies give us a chance to explore what we want and connect with each other. Over the last 7 years, my blog has helped me grow as a Catholic and as a person. It has changed the way I approach others about Christ and the Church, thanks to things I've learned from everyone else. > > Having said that, I can get Catholicked-out. (How's that for a word?) For me, Catholicism is the foundation of my life, not the central motivating force in my life. It instructs everything I do, but truth to tell, I'd rather watch a Newcastle game while drinking a London Pride instead of reading the latest Jesuitical ramblings. I think that we as Catholics can get way too wound up in the thing. > > Backtracking again, I'll note that I'm a Eucharistic Minister and active in our Cursillo community. So I dunno, maybe I'm more Catholicky than I think I am. Whatever. I gave one of Pope Benedict's books a chance on [audible.com](http://audible.com/), but after about an hour, I went back to TalkSport radio and listened to the drive time pair from England argue and joke about Premier League soccer. On the other hand, I can't get enough Chesterton and Lewis, so there's that. > > I guess what I'm saying is that for me, theology has to be applied theology. ### **What's the most rewarding aspect of your work?** > I feel like I understand the world much better because of my work as a Catholic blogger. I've gone through many interests on the blog - economics, parenting, politics, religion, science and more. The more I learn and the more I explore, the more I see how Catholicism is true. It just works in every way. I'm trained as a scientist and it bugged the heck out of me to see how many atheists there are in the sciences. I just didn't get it at all. I'm a cradle Catholic and science and religion have never been in conflict for me. I spent quite a while on the blog exploring just what it is the science-atheists think. I was sooo disappointed. It was the most juvenile and shallow nonsense. [Here](http://ktcatspost.blogspot.com/2010/08/atheisms-problems-of-sequencing.html) was one post on [my path to enlightenment and eventual boredom with the topic](http://ktcatspost.blogspot.com/2010/08/atheisms-problems-of-sequencing.html). ### ** In your spare time, what are we likely to find you doing? Do you have a gadget in hand or do you go native and screenless? ** > In my spare time, I can never be found without my Galaxy S3. I love it, love it, love it. *Copyright 2013 Sarah Reinhard* ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F05%2F06%2Fcatholic-techie-k-t-cat%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F05%2F06%2Fcatholic-techie-k-t-cat%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F05%2F06%2Fcatholic-techie-k-t-cat%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Catholic%20Techie%20K%20T%20Cat) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F05%2F06%2Fcatholic-techie-k-t-cat%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F05%2F06%2Fcatholic-techie-k-t-cat%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Sarah Reinhard](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/_catholicmom/Contriubutors/SARAH%20REINHARD.jpeg) ### [Sarah Reinhard](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/sarah-reinhard) When she’s not chasing kids, chugging coffee, or juggling work, Sarah Reinhard’s usually trying to stay up read just one … more … chapter.
