| Background: |
I and Danny O'Brien set up the irreverent (yet influential!) technology update Need To Know ("NTK") early in 1997, which was arguably the UK's first large-scale independent email newsletter, and broke stories on everything from the first "copy-protected" CD spotted in the wild to new linguistic coinages such as "risumi" and "medireview" (see Google for further details). Prior to that, I was one of the few staff who worked on both versions of the (ill-fated) UK version of Wired magazine - and, I reckon, created one of the country's first "blogs" in the summer of 1996, providing weekly web links relevant to my popular slot as technology correspondent on BBC Greater London Radio. |

| Current: |
Developing the "next generation" of NTK spin-off sites and applications, of which international snack-food monitoring community Snackspot is probably the best known so far. And trying to bring together people working in similar (and related) fields, sometimes via tech-community events such as Extreme Computing 2002 and NotCon earlier this year. |
