I hope I’m the Nathan Edwards you’re looking for. I realize there are a lot of us – artists, scientists, musicians, soccer players, people who owe a substantial amount of late fees to the Seattle Public Library – but to the best of my knowledge I’m the only one who tries to make a living in the tech journalism world.
So yes. I’m Nathan A. Edwards (the A is for Adventure). I am a tech journalist working in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m currently a freelance/contract worker, and most of my time is spent wearing either the Web Concierge hat for maximumpc.com or the Community Manager chapeau for Mod Shop. Other hats worn as necessary.
I’ve realized that my hitherto-near-perfect screen of anonymity is useful for being a dick on the internet (sup goons), but somewhat less handy when I’m trying to make a name for myself in the business. So here I shall plant my flag* and here I shall mumble about things that catch my fancy.
I really really hate self-indulgent “HEY GUYS I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY SO I WILL SAY IT IN AS CONVOLUTED A MANNER AS POSSIBLE” this-is-a-blog posts. Yet that’s exactly what I see here.
