My name is Gareth Stack, and I’m a writer, primarily of fiction and comedy. I’m also a freshman standup comedian.

I’ve been blogging since 1998, on subjects as diverse as social networking, podcasting, and independent music.

I produced, wrote, co-presented, and edited the first Irish online TV show, Technolotics, and briefly co-presented the ‘Analogue Hour’, a show for RTE 2XM.

I helped found, assistant edited and wrote for the Irish Indie music magazine Analogue; and was assistant and online editor for Piranha! Magazine, the legendary Trinity College Dublin satire magazine.

At college I ‘majored’ in Psychology, and was senior producer and station manager for Trinity FM, Ireland’s best student run radio station.

Praise for Technolotics..

“If many young students are not yet using modern technology to express themselves, three have done so successfully. Technolotics.com is billed as an irreverent look at technology, politics and the media by three Irish students and for a year it stood as one of the few Irish videoblogs. Technolotics is cheap and cheerful and it proves an important point. Viewers don’t need RTE-grade production values to engage with new personalities. Technolotics found an audience.”
Haydn Shaughnessy, writing in the Irish Times.
