Stuart got into technology by playing Pirates! on a Commodore 64. Now, in 2011, he's playing Pirates! on an iPad. Thankfully some other things have changed in the meantime.

Nowadays his work appears in The Guardian, Sunday Times, Music Ally along with CNET UK. He is also the UK's leading tweeter about toddler-induced sleep deprivation, weak X Factor jokes, and the back catalogue of Menswear.
