About Giles Turnbull

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

I'm a technology 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 as a trainee news reporter at the Cambridge Evening News. Then I managed to become Fleet Street's first dedicated internet correspondent, working for PA during the first dotcom boom. I subsequently went freelance, and since then have concentrated on writing about the internet and computers, particularly 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 my random witterings at Twitter. There's another Giles Turnbull at Pretend Office, but that's just co-incidence.
