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. 29/01/2008 10:13:29 PM http://www.geekillustrated.com.au/article.htm?articleid=1354 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. 6/01/2008 4:40:18 PM http://www.geekillustrated.com.au/article.htm?articleid=1351 Anyone who's spent time on the web will know that amidst the very smart and cool people and ideas is an avalanche of annoying, puerile rubbish. The invasion of the dummies made Albuquerque's Gabriel Ortiz and Hawaii's Paul Starr mad as hell, so they decided not to take it anymore. 21/11/2007 9:45:02 PM http://www.geekillustrated.com.au/article.htm?articleid=1350 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. 4/11/2007 10:41:20 PM http://www.geekillustrated.com.au/article.htm?articleid=1346 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. 13/10/2007 12:07:52 PM http://www.geekillustrated.com.au/article.htm?articleid=1339 South Africa based Gino Cosme is a communications whiz kid who spends his days helping folks in and out of the industry, around the world, understand the net, online marketing, social media, Web 2.0 and more. He's a smart, gorgeous guy dedicated to independent commentary and keen to affect a difference - making him eminently feature worthy in our eyes. 5/10/2007 7:56:02 PM
