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.

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.

Digging that girl
She’s part Nancy Drew, part Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A sweet natured girl with a big heart and brain to match. Intrepid and impertinent, the world of technology is her meta-mystery, and she’s dedicated to solving it component by component (while lending a helping hand to needy folks along the way). GI chats to Cali Lewis - spy, geek, spunk.
