happygeek in a Nutshell
I am an English geek with the perfect job: I write about technology for a living. Something I've been doing for a couple of decades now.
For the past 14 years I have been a Contributing Editor at PC Pro magazine, the biggest selling monthly IT publication in the UK, as well as a contributor to numerous other publications.
I was fortunate enough to win the UK IT Security Journalist of the Year 2006 award as well as Best Security Feature 2006 and 2007, and although it doesn't seem like it it was 11 years ago that I became UK Technology Journalist of the Year.
My latest book 'Being Virtual' is due to be published by Wiley in April 2008.
