Hello from AVAST Software HQ in Prague


Recommended Posts

That's right, I found neowin because I monitor the www for any avast!-related news coverage.

In April, a neowin member posted this: https://www.neowin.net/news/avast-free-antivirus-601091

and I added the coverage to our "Written About Us" page tab here: http://www.avast.com/news

I later responded to a slight inaccuracy about avast! Free Antivirus, and to do that needed to log in. So here I am, a neowin newbie, though I may not be very active, since I write the majority of our web text, review product brochures and datasheets and eCommerce interstitials, consult on marketing/PR messaging, and also manage some of our blog content.

About me, well, I was born in SW Michigan (family all Chicago immigrants) and lived also in Georgia, Tennessee, and Oregon, before moving in 2006 to Prague, Czech Republic (back to the motherlands). Got a BA in English (with a lot of classes in sociology and philosophy) and an MEd in Secondary-level language arts education at Portland State. I'm a teacher, editor, writer/poet, consultant, and connector of people. Most importantly, I have 2 sweet daughters who are roughly 62.5% Slovak. ;) One wants to be a princess and loves unicorns and visiting castles on weekends... the other, our newborn, will be a punk rock chick, as the only way we can put her to sleep is to jump up and down with her in a noisy setting.

That's pretty much it. Oh, and I recently realized I now have more than 100 poems published online and in various print journals, some now in Czech translation.

Welcome to Neowin!

Neowin needs good writers like you. There are times Neowin recruit new and fresh face freelance writers. By the way, I could not find the keyword "Neowin" in your articles over at Avast. Welcome anyways. Enjoy your stay.

Welcome to Neowin!

Awesome city you are living in right now. I went to Europe two years ago for the first time and one of the cities I liked the most was Prague.
