Short Bio:
, and total DUH! about the way code works and why -- definitely hurts my widdle bwain.
I come from the meandering corridors of showbiz [performing, producing, writing, BBC exec-ing] which somehow morphed for me into the big wide web world. Was a senior web producer for a few years, wrote a book about the web called The Net Effect and still make websites mostly for friends, charities, and barter. For the past 10 years I've been one of the official Webby judges and I'm thrilled to say one of my nominations - the great [TEENAGE] Alan Becker - won the People's Vote this year for his fab Flash movie Animator vs Animation - if you haven't seen it, you will LOVE it, guaranteed!
I'm also a media journo and, after some absence in print, have started writing again for a leftie paper called The Morning Star. You can read my stuff online at http://www.morningstaronline.com if you're interested Currently I've got a review of Die Hard 4.0 and a piece called The Politics of Fear, looking behind the horror genre.
I also once upon a time in a Hollywood galaxy far away, I spent the best part of 6 months in a cage with 2 baby orangutans in LA Zoo; you can read my notes at http://www.womenstuff/apes/
