Hi, I’m Sarah Lane.

I’m also a host/producer/writer, photographer, traveler, socialite, loner, and technology/internet enthusiast. Ok fine, addict. I love my furballs. I’ve been blogging here since 2003, which seems like an eternity.

Interested in my professional life?

Care to watch me in action?

You can email me at sarah at sarahlane dot com. I get too many emails to respond to each and every one, but I can assure you that I do read them all, and sometimes they make my day. Especially if there are cat photos involved.

EXTENDED BIO, THIRD PERSON

One of Sarah’s first jobs was segment producing in San Jose, CA, for a TV show called New Media News. In those years the first internet bubble had not yet burst, and she spent a large chunk of her time interviewing 25-year old CEOs about their Next Big Things. Sarah would like to say that during these interviews she had the incredible foresight to see through all of their fatally flawed business models, but that would be a bit of an embellishment.

As the Senior Segment Producer for a computer-centric show called “The Screen Savers” at TechTV in San Francisco, Sarah’s daily subject matter got her hooked on all things geeky. Ok, maybe not all things. But many things. Many things geeky. Anyway, after a couple of years, Sarah moved into an on-camera position, which gave her the ability to share her many things geeky with a very large audience while wearing lipstick and eyeshadow.

In 2004, Sarah migrated south to Los Angeles to work for G4 and was the first female co-host of the network’s daily live variety hour “Attack of the Show!” She lived in Santa Monica and ate a lot of Mexican food and occasionally wore hair extensions and false eyelashes on the set. LA was fun.

In 2006, Sarah took a year off from her career to travel through Greece, Turkey, Russia, China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, India, Brazil, and Argentina. She co-produced a quirky video podcast on life abroad, and also maintained a multimedia travelogue featuring videos, photos, and stories.

In the summer of 2007, a couple of Sarah’s former co-workers from TechTV asked her to join the team at Revision3, an emerging online television network. She accepted the Director of Production position and began building out a production team, a state of the art HD studio, and creating and acquiring new, exciting programming. Sarah also created, wrote, and hosted popSiren, a quirky, fast-paced and educational show highlighting the very best of modern pop/web culture.

In early 2009, Sarah joined the team at Current, a cross-platform media company (read: TV and web) as an Online Producer. She currently (she what she did there?) programs and edits the Current Tech channel, producing original video and written content, and staying on top of everything that’s new, interesting, and just plain fun for her beloved tech community. You can follow her @CurrentTech on Twitter.

Sarah also hosts a popular weekly live streaming/downloadable podcast, “This Week in FUN” with longtime colleague and friend Martin Sargent on TWiT.tv. You can catch their schtick live every Friday at 3 p.m. Pacific time, or subscribe via iTunes. Sarah’s also a weekly contributor on web-centric podcast net@night with Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur.

Sarah lives and works in San Francisco, the greatest city ever built (which she feels she can say pretty honestly, having been around the world and all). You can usually find her inhaling a plate of nachos, drinking tea, iPhone-gazing, or obeying the wishes of her overlords.
