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.

Get to know me more at my blog (link below)

Do No Evil – "Save our planet! Every day tons of detergent and millions of gallons of water are used to wash towels that have been used only once. PLEASE DECIDE FOR YOURSELF. A towel on the rack means, 'I'll use it again.' A towel on the floor or in the tub means, 'please exchange.'" Ã;Â¢Ã¢â;;Â

Suit Claims a Warhol Is Not, Well, a Warhol

Art & Design – The title, "315 Johns," sounds less like the name of an artwork than a headline describing a prostitution bust.
