about Global Hermit

Global Hermit has been kicking around as a website since about 1997, but became a touch more than one of those ubiquitous "under construction"-branded placeholders that take up so much of the web in the early part of this century when I realized I wanted to write some stuff and foist it off on whoever dropped by. Unfortunately, my regular work kept me too busy to feel like doing a lot of writing when I got home.

Thanks to the miracle of corporate decision-making, our company was downsized out of existence in June of 2004, and I've been a freelancer since that point. Global Hermit is now my home base on the web, and serves as an archive of the items I've written in the past, the work that is appearing in other magazines and websites now, and things that will be exclusive to this site. I'll also be using it as a digital photo album...why not?

If you need to reach me, you can just type my first name @ the name of this domain. (Take THAT, spam auto-harvesters.) If you have a new product you want to tell me about, I'm always interested, but I tend to be more interested in consumer-friendly gadgets rather than network switches and inventory management systems. I am based in Toronto, and am often available to attend press conferences or product launches. Drop me a line.
