Q: Are you the Mathew Ingram who makes wood furniture or the one who flies planes? A: No. I don't make furniture (I do use it though), and the only planes I fly are made out of paper. But my father was a pilot. Q: So what do you do then? A: I'm a technology writer and blogger with the Globe and Mail, a national daily newspaper based in Toronto. Q: How long have you worked there? A: I've been at the Globe since 1994. Before that I worked for the Financial Times of Canada, and before that I worked at a magazine in Edmonton called Alberta Report. Q: How long have you been writing about technology? A: Since 1991, but I've also written about the oil and gas industry for the Globe, and about the stock market. I started writing online when globeandmail.com went live in 2000. Q: What do you do when you're not working? A: I write a blog about Web-related issues and anything else that interests me. I also take pictures, play the guitar and generally enjoy life with my wife Rebecca and my daughters Caitlin, Meaghan and Zoe. Q: Where and when were you born? A: Zweibrucken, Germany in 1962. Q: What's the answer to life, the universe and everything? A: That's easy. It's 42. |
