Hi! I'm a London-based writer into technology, subculture, and anything strange and interesting. My work has appeared in over 30 magazines and newspapers including The Guardian and Wired. I edited the BBC webzine Seethru. My copywriting has won awards. Mostly though, I like to make jokes. All of which were recently published a spoof of the web, The Internet Now In Handy Book Form. I am now no longer funny.

"You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll realise you didn't cry at all, but simply laughed again."
Charlie Brooker, The Guardian
