There's not much to say, really.

I'm a technology journalist, and I'm currently Deputy Editor of ComputerActive Magazine. I previously worked at Computer Shopper magazine (UK), where I commissioned and edited the Labs section (detailed group reviews of computers and other related products). I also do freelance work. My articles have appeared in Computer Buyer, Personal Computer World, Mac User and various bookazines.

I also dabble in technology-related punditry. I've appeared several times on Radio 5 and TalkSport as well as many local radio stations (most often BBC Coventry and Warwickshire and BBC Three Counties). I've been quoted in the print editions of the Evening Standard, The Scotsman and the Irish Times, and on the websites of BBC News and the Daily Mail. I've been interviewed on Channel 4 News, BBC News, Sky News, ITN On, CNBC and Al Jazeera English, and I made a comically brief appearance on Channel 5's The Gadget Show.

Once upon a time (read: when last unemployed) I wrote a short article about the worst job I'd ever had for The Idler magazine. This has now been published in The Idler's book of Crap Jobs.
