About

My name is Christina War­ren (hence the domain name), I’m 28 years old and I live in Brook­lyn, New York. It would be an under­state­ment to say that I’m sort of obsessed with film and tele­vi­sion and their respec­tive indus­tries. I am also a major gadget-junkie and com­puter geek. Don’t let the obses­sion for pretty clothes fool you, I am a hard­core geek — dis­as­sem­bled com­put­ers and make-up bags reside in the same space. It’s just how I roll. How­ever, just because I’m geeky doesn’t mean I feel like look­ing geeky. Geek Chic is what I’m all about.

I’m a Mac user — but not one of those “I will only bad­mouth the PC and extol the virtues of the Mac” Mac users — I was a true switcher (though I have been using both plat­forms since 1995 and actu­ally learned about sys­tem net­work­ing on a Mac), and frankly there are aspects of both plat­forms that I like and dis­like. I mean, I used Win­dows daily for half my life (12 years before the switch), I still use Win­dows and Linux dis­tros when I want to try some­thing out or when review­ing a new product.

I took for­ever and a day to fin­ish my col­lege edu­ca­tion. In the mean­time, I was very for­tu­nate to get some great free­lance writ­ing assign­ments over the last few years, find­ing a new career in the process. In 2007, I was on the “Coaches” panel for USA Today’s Amer­i­can Idol cov­er­age and wrote about the show weekly online and for the print edi­tion of the paper. From 2007–2009 I was a blog­ger for TUAW.com, DownloadSquad.com and from March 2008-09, Styledash.com.

As of August 2009 I am a full­time writer for Mash­able, one of the largest blogs on the web. From May 2009 — Octo­ber 2010, I was also a con­trib­u­tor to AMC Entertainment’s Script-to-Screen blog, where I cov­ered the lat­est movie news.
