Entries I wrote for h2g2.com

h2g2 is an online encyclopedia and community that launched in April 1999, and was taken over by the BBC in 2001. I joined the site in February 2004 and have written more than a hundred entries for h2g2's Approved Guide (previously referred to as the Edited Guide). In January 2011, the BBC announced their intention to 'dispose' of the site to a third party. Since then, h2g2 has been rescued by a combination of volunteers and philanthropists.

Below are links to a sample of entries I've written. The full set can be found on a dedicated blog, and I still have a 'personal space' with oodles of volunteer badges over on h2g2 itself.

Articles I wrote for The Cheese Grater Magazine

The UCL Union The Cheese Grater Magazine follows the format set out by Private Eye and the like, containing investigative journalism, humour articles and cartoons. I was with the magazine for three years, December 2006 - December 2009, and I was the Investigations Editor for two of those years. While some of The Cheese Grater's humour was dark, disturbing or downright weird, there was also some brilliant stuff, and I was very happy to provide a lot of their investigative content during that time.

Below is a summary of my contributions - I've also uploaded full copies of the articles.
