The MacNotables: Andy Ihnatko
Andy Ihnatko is is a Boston-based geek and writer who works for anyone foolish enough to pay him. He's The The Chicago Sun-Times' technology columnist as well as Macworld Magazine's back-page opinion guy, and his writings also appear in Playboy, Yahoo! Internet Life, CNN.com, and in the occasional book. Roger Ebert credits him for writing "at least a third" of his "Little Movie Glossary."
He (Andy) would also like to point out that he made his indy film debut last year, owns two goldfish named Click and Drag, builds animatronic toys that can be controlled via telepresence to hassle cats, has one published credit contributing to a single issue of the "Ren & Stimpy" comic, that the column he wrote about modifying his girlfriend's coffeemaker is a true story, that while said girlfriend is no longer in the picture, the business with the coffeemaker was in no way at fault, and that he has had to say "No, really, this is probably the best you can do with my hair" to TV makeup people often enough that he's had the phrase printed on embossed pocket-sized cards for convenience.
