Time to meet yet another one of our shiny bloggers, this US-based gadget girl Star...

Name: Star C. Foster (Yes, that's my real name. No, my parents were not hippies. Thanks for asking.)
Shiny Job: Writer for Shiny Shiny
Hometown: Philadelphia, PA USA

Five favourite web 2.0 sites (besides shiny ones): Probably the Gothamist family of websites, and I'm not just saying that because I also write for Phillyist. The whole reason I got involved with the local version was that I loved reading London and New York from the people who lived there.

Last 3 gigs you went to: Jonathan Coulton, The Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players; and Harry & the Potters (with Draco & the Malfoys). I swear, I'm not solely interested in novelty bands - it's just been that kind of week.

Last 3 books you bought: If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things (Jon McGregor), Misfortune (Westley Stace) , & Haunted (Chuck Palahniuk)

Last 3 albums you bought: Fidelity is the Enemy (Jim Boggia), Slaying Since 1996 (Suicide Squeeze Records Compilation), Get Excommunicated (Ed & the Refrigerators)
