about bureau42.comThis page will have witty content someday. In the meantime, you can read about the staff: Dave had this to say: Cloud: ...
Eldhrin had this to say: My writing experience is not really in reviews, and my training is not in writing. I hold a degree in Computer Science, and my weekdays consist of fixing bugs in bits of software for a large multi-national company whom you've probably heard of. I write fiction which is usually either science fiction or fantasy, but is rarely any good. I play the recorder and I recently began learning the viola de gamba, which is not the same thing as the viola. I also like to cook and reduce the level of universal ignorance (also known as teaching). My primary ambitions are to gain a performance diploma on the recorder, learn to play the crumhorn (a wonderfully obsolete instrument resembling an umbrella handle), get a novel published and join the police. I live in Nottingham in the United Kingdom, where I amuse myself by correcting misuse of the apostrophe.
fiziko had this to say: As you can probably tell, I have no formal training in any sort of critiquing or professional writing. (My first two degrees are in physics, and my third in Education.) I've been a TV and movie junkie for most of my life, so I signed up for this when Dave put out a call for volunteers. I'm currently working a new job that's consuming about 70-80 man hours a week, so my reviews will be coming out more slowly this summer than previous years.

All content on the Web site This site may collect your email address, if you voluntarily provide this information. It will not be used for "spam" or in fact for much of anything -- if you lose your password, we can email it to you, but that's really the only thing I ever intend to do with it. Minimal information is logged about you and your visits -- just enough to do routine, aggregated traffic analysis (i.e. see how many people visit, how long they stay, what they read, and so on). Aside from the (optional) email address listed above, nothing that can identify you personally is logged. "Bureau 42" is a trademark of George Sessen, and is used here by his permission. He's not likely to give such permission to anyone else, though... "Bureau 42" is in no way associated with "Bureau 13" or for that matter "Section 31". Some graphic elements used under license from The Animation Factory. Don't worry, though, I edited 'em to disable the silly animation parts. The Playstation logo belongs to Sony. Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling; I'm just borrowing him, don't worry. I probably forgot to credit someone or something at some point -- please don't sue. All trademarks are acknowledged to be the property of their owners. "The X-Files" belongs to Ten Thirteen Productions. Firefly belongs to Joss Whedon, and damn the Fox network for cancelling that show. (I could go on like this for a while.) |
