Simon Bisson
The quick roundup: technology journalist, one-time IT strategy consultant, SF reader (and occasional writer), traveller, book and art collector. Oh, and geek.
Born on the Channel Island of Jersey, I now live in South West London, with Mary, two cats and two robots.

Online Presences From The Same Keyboard
I’ve been running a personal blog using Livejournal for some years now, and it’s where I post pictures, and other writings that aren’t readily categorisable.
Of course I also have a Flickr photostream…
If you want to find out what I’m reading, I have a LibraryThing account. You can see my catalogue here.
Google will probably find other sites and blogs, but they’re mainly test sites for magazine articles I’ll have been working on.
If you use Twitter, then you’ll find me there as sbisson. I’m also to be found on Facebook and LinkedIn.
