GI Pin Up: Ella Morton
Ella Morton, like her heroine, X-File sleuth Dana Scully, is a feisty redhead with a very large brain (well, we can't actually prove it's large, but we know it holds alot). A nethead since the late 90s, Ella fused a background in the arts and some dabblage in electronics retail, with a natural talent for writing and an unnatural yen for things technologic -- and hardwired them into a successful gig as Features Editor at CNET Australia.

Re: Jonathan Coulton, Geek Superstar & Babe
Most geeks have heard of Jonathan Coulton, and if they haven't, they should. Coulton (aka JoCo) is an indie music hero. In 2005 he left a day job writing software to pursue music full time. In the grand tradition of writing what you know, he writes tuneful, funky songs about the web, Flickr, coding, gaming, zombies and more. GI pins him down for closer inspection.

GI Rising Star: Tom Wood
Everybody secretly smiles when the powerful get some comeuppance by the underdog. Melbourne teenager Tom Wood showed the Australian Government it really didn't have a clue about technology when he swiftly hacked their $84 million 'porn-filter', designed to avert our collective eyes from lewd online evils. We meet this smart young thing who captured the nations attention, and proved that brains and savvy will win over authoritarianism every time.
