Oh hai. Allow me to introduce myself

My name’s Kate, and I’ll be holding the fort at Shiny Towers for the next week or so while the lovely Anna jets off on holiday.

I’ve enjoyed a love affair with gadgets since I won a remote-controlled car in the 1992 inter-schools Halloween fancy dress competition (I nailed it with a Grim Reaper costume that my mum made out of a duvet cover). I’ve written about everything from cutting edge music software and groundbreaking GPS systems to Egyptian sarcophagus DVD cabinets, and will be looking at Shiny-style breaking news, gadget reviews, and all the miscellaneous lols in between.

So, if you want to say hello, drop me a line on [email protected]. And stay tuned for many Shiny shenanigans.
