Omid began his career in the world of computer graphics hardware working on ancient technologies called EGA and VGA. Every company he ever worked for found a buyer within a reasonable time of mourning, and went from great success to dramatic ennui. Fortunately, he found personal infamy as an analyst for Jon Peddie Associates before co-founding the GAMExecutive Conference, and subsequent stints in senior management at Expertcity (now Citrix Online), and most recently, as CEO of Tom's Guides Publishing.

Mark Raby
Editor, East Coast

Mark has been covering the technology industry for nearly a decade and has learned to love anything with a joystick, touch-screen, or remote kill switch. Flexing his background in business, he likes to pontificate over every little announcement as to how it'll affect the entire world. Call him meticulous, call him crazy, but whatever you do don't call him in the middle of an episode of The Closer.

David Gomez
Contributor

David began writing opinions columns in 2009 for Eastern Michigan University's student newspaper the Eastern Echo. After receiving positive feedback from his fellow Ronald E. McNair scholars who had read those early columns, he decided to stick with writing and get into freelancing. David likes to cover science, technology and politics. He also loves to watch TV just so he has something to hate and bash on. Big media corporations and American life in general give David lots of things to rant about on TG Daily.

Trent Nouveau
Contributor

Trent is part cyberpunk, part steampunk and all hipster. Inspired by Neal Stephenson, Bruce Sterling and Shirley Manson, he prefers to focus on hard-core tech stories about modding, hacking and security. 

Mike Luttrell
Contributor

Mike would rather spend his waking hours sitting in front of his giant 3D TV and playing video games all day. You know, the kind that doesn’t involve any sort of physical activity. Leave those games to the jocks. But he has to pay the bills somehow, so in addition to focusing on the gaming beat, Mike also writes about mobile phones and anything else that catches his eye.

Starr Keshet
Contributor

As you may have noticed by now, Starr seems to have an opinion on just about everything. Whether writing about politics or Steve "Balmy" Ballmer,  Starr is determined not to pull any punches and pledges to keep it hella real for the digital masses.

Raven Lovecraft
Contributor

As any good techno-journalist out there should be, Raven has become jaded with the entire industry. She keeps us grounded and always keeps everything in perspective. After all, not everything Steve Jobs says needs to be etched in gold and written down in the sequel to the Bible.


Andrew Thomas
Contributor

Andrew was born before mobile phones, PCs or iPods were invented, so he had to scrape a living running and programming computers that took up the space of a tennis court and had lots of flashing lights on them. After a while he tired of this and went off to write about them for people such as Computer Weekly, Infomatics, PC Week and a couple of UK national dailies. He was then made an offer he couldn't understand by IBM and went to work for them, later blundering into employment with DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) and Intel. He is believed to be a British spy.


Emory Kale
Contributor


Emory has continued to champion the mullet despite the disastrous impact it has had on his love life, and his chances of ever making it pass the TSA without a full body cavity search. He rarely writes and when he does it is often bad or the editorial equivalent of eating bubble wrap. Nevertheless, he has a sex tape and has threatened to release it if he can't continue to post on these pages. No one can tell which is worse.
