Authors

Profile of authors, listed in chronological order of joining.

Alex Santoso
Alex started Neatorama in August of 2005 as a hobby blog. Little did he know that it would grow to be an obsession (and hopefully, a success). Alex is a scientist (he has a doctorate in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from University of California at San Francisco), a small business owner, and most importantly, a husband (to a very understanding wife Tiffany) and a dad.

If you really want to know, Alex is probably one of the youngest recipient of a doctorate degree in science (at a tender age of 25). He's now older and somewhat wiser, though he still pines for the good old days of studying prions in the laboratory.

Since August 9, 2005.

   

Miss Cellania
Miss Cellania is a single mother and 24-year radio veteran, currently between jobs. She deals with insomnia by producing the humor blog Miss Cellania. In addition to Neatorama, she is also a contributing team member at YesButNoButYes and at mental_floss. Miss C is also seeking a position on air, in media production, or in voiceover work.

Since October 12, 2006.

   

Gail Hapke
Gail Hapke is a poet, blogger, writer, editor, wife, mom, and college-level writing teacher who is fascinated by the offbeat, eccentric narratives that for her best reflect the surreal side of life on Earth. She is 55 years old and interested in virtually everything, but especially the vagaries of language and literature, art, medicine, nature, music, history, and all imaginable levels of human culture -- with an emphasis on "vagaries." Some might call her eclectic, others might call her easily distracted by shiny objects. She has been married for nearly thirty years and has two children (26 and 15).

Since October 30, 2006.

   

Yayo
Who: Eduardo "Yayo" Fernández Quiñones.
Where: Asturias, Spain, Europe
How Do I Look: Brown hair with matching brown eyes, about 70 kg & 1.76 meters tall
When: Born 1979
Married: No, single (please apply to eduyayo AT gmail DOT com, all candidates must be born women)
Others: When I was born, I was so small that I couldn't remember any of it, but they told me it happened in 1979. I draw for fun and once I did it for money.

I'd like to program and make graphics for videogames again. Nowadays, I'm a corebanking developer for Capgemini Consulting and Services.

I like oldies in music and movies.

If you just want to chat, just add eduyayo AT gmail DOT com to your GoogleTalk or MSN or simply drop me an email. I would really like to know how far I can get from this ugly little body.

Since November 4, 2006.

Anita
Blog: Say No to Crack

At the age of one, Anita was accidentally dropped off the side of a tugboat near Yellowknife, Canada. Luckily, a fun-loving Inuit tribe was taking a beach vacation, and had some fresh sea lion blubber to keep the baby warm.

Anita's childhood was pretty typical for an arctic Inuit: throat-singing, long sunless days playing hide & hide longer (there's not enough light to seek), training polar bears as backup dancers for Styx cover bands, and making Frosty's at the local Wendy's.

Since only natural-born Inuits can officially join the tribe, Anita was sent back to the United States at the tender age of 16. The wolf-guided expedition led Anita to the exotic suburbs of Baltimore, and eventually to a secretive life as a semi-professional hot dog eater, level 5 spy for the MD Department of Tourism, and humor blog writer.

Since January 3, 2007.

   

Spluch
Blog: Spluch

Spluch, created by 2 Asian bloggers Ken and Zan (former MSc in Computing classmates) known as Spluchsters - strives to find weird, interesting and entertaining news around the world to its readers.

Despite dealing with lack of sleep due to juggling between IT-based jobs and obsessive blogging, Spluchsters have managed to preserve their sanity till today (thank God!).

The eccentric J. Tithonus Pednaud is a teratological historian and former sideshow stunt performer as well as the prolific author behind The Human Marvels website. His site is dedicated to vindicating those people who, in decades past, were afflicted with seemingly horrific and socially crippling deformities and labelled as 'freaks'.

Pednaud's work has appeared in several publications and he occasionally lectures on the subject of human variation.

The Good Reverend
Blog: The Good Reverend

Since July 06, 2007

I regularly blog at The Good Reverend ... I've been pursued by a police search helicopter, arrested, and handcuffed and detained as a suspect for a stabbing, but on three separate occasions...I'm a notorious April Fools prankster...I've won two contests: one, for poetry, as a sophomore in high school, and another, for coloring, in fourth grade...I gave up maltodextrin once, for my health--er, on principle--but I'm back on it...In second grade, for about a week, Crystal and I would use the "stuffed animal center" as our private kissing spot, but then one day she wasn't there...I've been all around the country in a motor home...I've flown a small plane, but no takeoff or landing...I'm pretty good at fixing and building things...I'm a certified bartender and an ordained minister...I wrote two novels by the time I was sixteen, with mixed results...I performed a monologue from Jerry Maguire in a Shakespeare contest...I've parallel parked a Suburban (on the first try)...I've dressed as Julio Iglesias, David Bowie, the Dude, and Eli Cash, and I've worn a size two skirt, or, once, just a sock with peanut butter and jelly...I've driven between Tucson and Palo Alto, or Palo Alto and Tucson, fourteen times...I've driven coast-to-coast with my bride, once...I've painted a stick...I've built a hundred-foot indoor slip-and-slide...I've taken a motorcycle apart but didn't put it back together...Something new happens every day...
