About Giles Turnbull

Hello. I'm Giles. I like the internet.

I'm a journalist and copywriter. I've been writing on and about the internet since the mid-1990s. I know how the web works, and how to write readable, useful, interesting text for web pages.

I started my career in the early 1990s, as a trainee news reporter at the Cambridge Evening News. Then I became Fleet Street's first dedicated internet correspondent, working for the Press Association during the first dotcom boom. I subsequently went freelance, and spent the best part of a decade writing and blogging about Apple's Mac OS X and its related universe of products, devices and apps.

When I'm not working I enjoy taking photos, singing, and spending time with my family. I live near Bath in the west of England.

You'll find my photos at Flickr, and a fair bit of nonsense at Twitter.

There's another Giles Turnbull at Pretend Office, but that's probably just coincidence.
