About Tom
I've never been good at writing these, but nevertheless here's the official biography I use for conferences and the like:
Tom Scott is a geek comedian. He won the 2008 Kevin Greening Award for Creativity at the Student Radio Awards, once got in trouble with the Cabinet Office for his version of their Preparing for Emergencies site, and has been described as a "sometime internet funny man" by The Register.
He runs the British part of International Talk Like A Pirate Day, and accidentally got elected as president of his students' union after running as "Mad Cap'n Tom".
His work has been shown on BBC One, Channel 4, and at the paraflows net-art exhibition in Vienna.
He also once got five gold runs on 'Blockbusters'.
So there you go.
