<description><![CDATA[I've covered security, government technology, the Internet and e-commerce for Computerworld, before becoming online news editor and then online managing editor.
During my tenure, Computerworld.com has won a number of editorial awards, including ASBPE best Web site, MIN best of the Web and the Jesse Neal Award for best Web site.
I've also been senior editor at an engineering magazine, Design News; and a reporter, technology columnist and business editor at the Middlesex News daily newspaper.
Also at the Middlesex News, I programmed and set up what Wikipedia calls "one of the earliest online transmissions of news from a newspaper to its readers" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_the_Computer ). I coded my first public Web site (for a local community group) in November of 1995, and currently code for work and pleasure in Perl, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and Ruby on Rails.
