Scout Digidave

I am a freelance science and technology writer, or what I like to call a "geek writer."

My main interest is taking what I know about the networking effects of the internet and applying it to journalism. I do this at NewAssignment.Net

On Netscape I manage the Do No Evil channel. A dubious channel indeed. Help me define it by leaving a comment here.

I also work at NewsTrust.Net - a media literacy nonprofit that lets you rank news based on journalistic quality.
