Hello there.
I’m a freelance journalist who covers technology and telecommunications for a variety of consumer and B2B titles. I also write on social justice and international development. Sometimes, all four fields happily collide.
Right now the majority of my work tends is for Stuff.tv, PC Gamer and Comms Dealer, but I also contribute on a regular basis to many other print and online outlets. Oh, and then there’s PC Format – a magazine I used to edit and still write many, many words for. Happy days. Over the last year, I’ve also been cultivating a healthy CV in international development issues, including travelling as a reporter for an NGO and being shortlisted for the Guardian International Development Journalism Competition.
If you want to know more, there’s a more-or-less full CV here.
I’m a big fan of Linux and all things open source, and currently run Ubuntu 9.10 on my main desktop, with the Lucid 10.04 Beta on an EeePC 901.
I used to edit a magazine about digital cameras back before everyone had one, and currently I’m using a Panasonic GF1. It may well be the perfect tool for the one man journalist in the field.
