The Economist Wired UK T3 - Tomorrow's Technology Today IEEE Spectrum
 The Economist  Wired UK   T3 magazine  IEEE Spectrum
I've just started writing for The Economist's Technology Quarterly. They don't credit authors so check in here for articles by me! My first feature for Wired UK is an eight-pager about America's teenage cyber-warriors. Ironically, it's not online - and this PDF is a hefty 12MB. I was Reviews Ed of this hi-tech gadget title at launch. I still write a monthly column, news, reviews (here, here and here) and features. Here's a teaser for my first feature in IEEE Spectrum - it involves me taking all my clothes off, and then lying about it. More info when it hits the shelves...
   Dean Kamen interview     Teen US Digital Patriots     Paparazzi feature   




E&T magazine from the IET Blockbuster Preview HD Review Digital Camera
E&T  Blockbuster Preview   High Definition Review  Digital Camera
Short title, big remit. This mag for engineers covers the latest in science and tech. I write features on airships, trams and more.. I was the editor of this customer mag for Blockbuster from its launch and through 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 issues. It was the largest home entertainment title in the UK. I write hardware reviews for this well designed and enthusiastic new title from Imagine. I even did their very last HD-DVD player review ever... I was Reviews Editor (freelance) for this market-leading and award-winning title for three years, organising freelancers and writing reviews and tips.
 Barack's election tech  Complete issue 5 PDF (14MB)  Canon HF10 review   Sony T30 review 




Flipside Publish Now! Which? Time Out Paris
Flipside  Publish Now!   Outdoor Enthusiast  Time Out Paris 
Smart, interesting, fun mag for teens from the IET. I rode in a helicopter (sim) and wrote about killer dolphins. I did a big round-up of ebook readers for this small mag on self-publishing, including the first UK test of the Kindle DX A great outdoors mag that picked up an interesting travel/ medical/outdoor story
of mine. 
I was Assistant Editor of this one-off guide. I researched, edited and wrote listings and few articles. Not in French, mind.
 Best videogame ever     Surviving Adventure   Peniches on the Seine 




SFX Stuff Which? Toyota Today Tomorrow
 SFX magazine  Stuff  Which?  Toyota Today, Tomorrow
I reviewed SF and horror books, videos and films for the largest SF mag in Europe. The trashier, the better! Going from strength to strength, Stuff is Which? for blokes. I've done loads of product tests for them - plus now a US blog. Which? sells 700,000+ monthly. I ended as a Senior Researcher, writing for a global audience and managing product tests.  I've had features on speed camera detectors and accident-free cars in Toyota's customer mag, Today Tomorrow.

W@Mob Dreamwatch DVD Review Insight City News
What Mobile?   Dreamwatch  DVD Review   Insight City News 
RIP W@Mob, welcome back What Mobile? Cool gadgety stuff with bells on. I write regular tech reviews. I reviewed vids and books for Dreamwatch, the best global SF mag (USA & UK) with more of a TV slant than SFX. For the UK's biggest DVD mag, I linked movie piracy to gangsters, pornographers and terrorists. And it's all true. It's a rag, but it's a LOCAL rag. I loved the Insight but the ICN is a newer, more, er, individual title. I wrote the occasional feature. 
 Fuji F420 review    The Postman review   Piracy feature   Snatch interview 




The Official Windows XP magazine Today In English Asda magazine Good Call
Official Windows XP   Today in English   Asda magazine   Good Call 
I wrote reviews for this consumer IT title - from smartphones to biometric webcams. But I never met Bill... Today is for French people learning English. I've done travel features, profiles, reviews & photo reports.  Over 5 million people read this monthly, making it one of the Top 10 UK mags. I wrote a round-up spread of cameras. The Carphone Warehouse's customer mag commissioned a refreshingly critical feature on the eco impact of mobile phones.

Computer Arts Orange Exchange Focus Edge
Computer Arts Orange Exchange Focus  Edge 
This influential mag is all about design and digital media. I reviewed cameras and other products. A sharp, modern and useful mag for Orange's small business customers. I write features. Popular science has never been so, er, popular. Now owned by the massive BBC Worldwide. I wrote features. Edge is a seminal computer gaming mag for grown-ups. I wrote product reviews for the NuMedia section.




Mobile Choice Fresh Direction magazine Digital Video Techniques Starburst
 Mobile Choice   FD magazine  Digital Video Tech  Starburst 
I bring my knowledge of electronics to bear on cellphones. Cower before my mighty gadget brain! New students need all the help they can get. I did a feature on saving tech money, from open source software to free laptops. A camcorder magazine from upstart publishers Imagine. I reviewed camcorders each month. Nice design, too. Starburst is anothear neat trans-continental sci-fi, fantasy and horror mag. I've reviewed books for them.
