Christopher Roberts has written 198 article(s) for Technology Bloggers. I founded Technology Bloggers and am currently a member of the admin team. I am a big fan of blogging, but a big hater of spam. I like to write about pretty much every topic we cover, although I specialise in technology. I like to do my bit for charity, and want to improve the world.
