Mark Webster
Mark Webster came from the music and prepress industries to become perhaps New Zealand’s best-known Apple commentator. The former editor of NZ Macguide magazine (2002-2007) has trained and spoken widely on Macs in both business (ImageText, Microsoft, Macmillan Publishing), educational (AUT, Natcoll, Auckland University) and private capacities.
Mark can train Mac tips to revolutionise work and leisure up to the professional applications. He writes the Mac Planet blog for the NZ Herald on anything Apple, is editor of the MagBytes NZ Mac newsletter and updates his www.mac-nz.com website with Apple Mac, iPhone, iPod and iPad news and information up to six times weekly.
Mark has an abiding interest in technology and how it’s deployed in education and how it serves society.
Apart from hundreds of articles and reviews, he wrote Assembly: NZ Car Production 1921-1998 (Reed Books 2001).
He founded (and is the creative director of) the CreativeTech conference at AUT September 10th-11th 2010, and in Auckland and Wellington July 2011. (www.creativetech.net.nz)
