Chris Radcliff

Everybody stand backI’ve been the proprietor of Global Spin since 1992, when the name came to me in a dream about technology at parties. I’m passionate about science, technology, philosophy, film, architecture, transit, and the outdoors. It’s often been said that I have more ideas than time, a state which only gets worse as time passes.

I’ve written articles, papers, talks, and about six squillion blog posts. My first technology book (Perl for the Web, New Riders 2001) will probably be my last, but there are still a few novels and screenplays fighting their way out of my head. My most prominent writing gig at the moment is Geekdad, a Wired blog about passing along our passions to our children.

I currently work as a software engineer for Eventful in San Diego, where I live with my lovely wife Karen and our young son Ben. I’m a member of the Mars Society - San Diego, and secretary of the San Diego Space Society.

    Psst — the URL for Geekdad is “blog.wired.com”, not “blogs.wired.com”. :-)
