Award-winning writer and editor, Christina Tynan-Wood has covered everything from technology, education, parenting, finance, and business in her 12 years at Tynan Wood Inc. Her latest project, the book How to Be a Geek Goddess is available in book stores now. The New York Times recently called her blog GeekGirlfriends.com – on female techno-empowerment “savvy and current.” And she is also InfoWorld’s reader advocate at Gripe Line. She is a contributing editor for Family Circle and writes for many other national publications
Recently she acted as Editor-at-Large for the Computer History Museum’s magazine Core. She has contributed a column on the Web to USA Weekend Magazine, a twice-monthly column to PC Magazine on the human implications of new technologies, won a Neal award for her monthly column Consumer Watch in PC World, acted as executive editor for Family Circle’s special interest publications on the Web and computers and forged relationships with magazines as diverse as Popular Science and This Old House Magazine.
Before forming Tynan Wood Inc in 1997 — with her husband and then-fellow PC World editor Dan Tynan — Tynan-Wood was Senior Editor of the consumer features department there. In that role, she garnered numerous journalism awards, including the magazine’s first Jesse H. Neal Award in 1995. She was a tireless consumer advocate, writing or editing much of the magazine’s consumer advocacy coverage including the “On Your Side,” “Consumer Watch,” and “Shop Talk” columns. She unearthed consumer traps, suspect business practices, scams, counterfeiting, and theft in the computer industry while covering beats as varied as games, computer aided design, and home computing. She has bachelors in English from the University of California at Berkeley. She now resides on the Cape Fear coast with her family.
I saw your request for sources related to bank Web security and password protection from a colleague of mine — Timothy Williams. Anyway, an old client of mine, http://www.PhoneFactor.com, does some cool two-tier authentification stuff for banks (strictly) so I would love to put you in front of those guys. Let me know if you are interested, Darren.
Hi Christina,
Congrats on your book! I am a Toronto-based journalist who similarly writes on women and tech in Canada. My tech-inspired novel, called Opportunity Rings, is about to hit bookstore shelves. Would like to chat to discuss potential synergies. Thanks….ss
Hi Christina,
My name is Donna from Jibidee.com, a new, free, easy to use personal organization website for use at home, school, or on the go.
I saw that you wrote “Free Online Tools for All” in Family Circle magazine and thought you might be interested in writing about Jibidee.
Jibidee includes a calendar, address book, lists, notes, document upload, photos, personal fax, sharing, mobile and much more. No other personal organization website is quite like Jibidee. We just rolled out a major new release and we are reaching out to a few journalists like yourself.
Please take a look at the site from the link below and let me know if you are interested in doing a story.
