Jon Bounds is a writer and editor from Birmingham, U.K., where he grew up listening to The Smiths and trying to get his Sinclair Spectrum to do desktop publishing.

He graduated with plans to use computers to create and share "stuff." A short-lived journalism career ended when he realized that he'd rather just make it all upthe National Enquirer had no vacancies. Jon instead settled for the equally glamorous life of a technical editor at friends of ED and has edited many titles on digital video including Final Cut Pro, Premiere, QuickTime, After Effects, and video for Flash. Now computers have caught up a little, Jon spends many an hour editing video, writing, and entertaining people at jonbounds.co.uk. See less
