Added role of overseeing news/features/reviews site with more trade bent, in support of print sibling, GameWEEK/ieMagazine.

Trade magazine for video-game industry.

Beat reporter for trade publication; covered browser technology, corporate culture in Silicon Valley, Web protocols, network security and efficiency software.

Short-lived (when the company burned through its investor money quickly) magazine for digital culture--similar to Rolling Stone for music culture, and not as geeky as Wired. Two issues printed, third one "put to bed" but never released...

It was my role to create opportunities with the company's current brands (GamePro, Electronic Entertainment/PC Games) in new media. We launched a successful area on America Online for GamePro; launched two lucrative 900-number phone-based games; and had conceived a kiosk for video-game retailers using GamePro content as the foundation, though it never was.

Ground-breaking, second-generation video-game magazine that didn't assume the readers were short-attention-spanned ADD kids.
