Benj Edwards' diverse interests in science and the arts inspire his written works on the past, present, and future of technology. As a collector and student of vintage computers and video games for almost 20 years, he brings a rare sense of tech history to publications such as PC World, Wired, Macworld, 1UP, and Ars Technica.

Edwards is also founder and Editor-in-Chief of Vintage Computing and Gaming (VC&G), a regularly updated blog dedicated to classic technology. VC&G's unusual dual devotion to both computer and video game history has attracted millions of readers since 2005.

As a songwriter and musician, Edwards previously formed and helmed the world's first "dot-com band," Request-A-Song.com, which explored audience interactivity, online music distribution methods, and new music business models, gaining acclaim from Billboard and USA Today.

When he's not busy freelancing or making music, Edwards enjoys writing self-aggrandizing stuff about himself in the third person.
