Introducing our blog staff

Lawmune: I used to be the Community Marketing & Research Manager at Opera. These days, my title is Product Research Manager. Without getting into boring details, I'm still focused on interacting with and learning from our users to make Opera better. I blog primarily on Choose Opera, Opera Otaku (my Opera-related blog), and lainspotting (my seldom-updated personal blog). I'm into anime, subcultures, science, and technology. At SXSW, I'll be spending a lot of time at our booth talking to people about Opera.
Phred: I'm a software engineer and web dev. I spend most of my free time chatting in #snapshot (beta tester land) or #myopera. You can also catch me around the forums and the desktop team blog pretty often. Around the Opera community, I tend to gravitate towards web dev topics, betas, and userjs. In the real world, I'm into motorcycles (Yamaha 600r), the inet, standards (on and off the web), andlong walks on the beach electronic gadgets.
John: I'm a grad student at the University of Texas at Austin. I'm currently an Assistant Director of the Department of Rhetoric and Writing's Computer Writing and Research Lab where I helped launch viz., a website devoted to rhetoric and visual culture. My current research focuses on networked communication in environments like Wikipedia, Twitter, and social networks. In my free time I blog here and obsess over my Tivo, which is programmed to record any show with the phrase "long walks on the beach" in its title or description.
Jim: Like John, I am a graduate student at UT Austin. John and I work together in the CWRL and the Department of Rhetoric and Writing. And (I promise, we are two different people) I am writing a dissertation on Wikipedia. My blog - Clinamen is mostly about my research interests, and I also blog for the Rhetoric Society of America. When I'm not obsessing about Wikipedia, I'm usually watching sports or The Daily Show. I'm originally from Pittsburgh, and thus am a fan of the Pirates (no jokes please) and the Steelers. I also have a dog named Mazeroski - my own personal homage to the 1960 World Series.
