About Me

My Photo
glyn moody
I have been a technology journalist and consultant for nearly 30 years, covering the Internet since March 1994, and the free software world since 1995.

One early feature I wrote was for Wired in 1997: The Greatest OS that (N)ever Was. My most recent books are Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution, and Digital Code of Life: How Bioinformatics is Revolutionizing Science, Medicine and Business.
