Scout Digidave

I am a freelance science and technology writer, or what I like to call a "geek writer."
 My main interest is taking what I know about the networking effects of the internet and applying it to journalism. I do this at NewAssignment.Net On Netscape I manage the Do No Evil channel. A dubious channel indeed. Help me define it by leaving a comment here.
Get to know me more at my blog: Digidave.org or email me dcohn1 AT gmail DOT com.
