A Gaming and Tech Blog We Luv
For me… videos games and technology are two elements in my life that I could never part with. With my passion for both leaves me searching for great blogs that cover these topics and time and time again, I tend to migrate over to a really good blog by Simon Barker titled, Zath Gaming Tech Blog.
I had the opportunity to interview with Simon Baker and learn a lot about him and his wonderful blog. Simon is a 29 year old blogger from York in the UK. He has a total love and passion for computers. Simon tells me, “I’ve been tinkering with computers for about as long as I can remember, I’ve always been amazed at what you can do with them, going all the way back to my first one which was a Sinclair Spectrum 128k +2.” I can totally relate. I never owned a Sinclair, but my first computer was a Commodore 64. Man, I loved that computer!
Simon has a wonderful career as a Oracle HR SYS Admin. His job involves IT support and management information tasks. I can tell from interviewing with Simon that he really enjoys his career a lot. Aside from all his passion with computers and his day job, quickly you’ll discover his love for video games and other techie type elements, gadgets… he is even a TV drama show buff! “In addition to computers, I like gaming (when I find the time!), movies, technology, gadgets and TV drama shows along the lines of Prison Break, Lost, Heroes, Smallville and 24.” I’ll be the first to admit, just like Simon… I have some major TV show addiction issues! Let’s face it… TV is just too good to pass up right now!
Simon has been using the Internet for 8 years and that in itself has been the leading reason how he got into blogging. The story behind the creation of his popular and successful blog is an interesting one. Simon comments, “My blog is Zath! The name originates from when I first played an online game for the first time; Ultima Online, I called my character Zathras after a minor character in Babylon 5 (as you do) and obviously it got shortened to Zath which has been my online alias ever since.” Because of his blog, back in August, he good hooked up on a killer invite to Sega UK HQ and got to play-test their new Sega Rally game.

Simon does an excellent job with promoting and marketing his blog. Looking at his MyBlogLog most recent visitor widget, it shows me a lot of people that I know and the activity level is very high! Simon is one of those bloggers that take a lot of pride in the content that he publishes. Many people forget their their content is syndicated in a worldwide broadcast, Simon provides some really great content via syndication and it was an honor to have the interview with him and a total pleasure to provide the review. I wish the best for Simon and his continued success with his blog.
Wonderful review, Garry! I’ll have to check out Simon’s blog, as I love technology blogs! :)
It’s well worth the visit. He works very hard on his blog and would love the added attention! It always a pleasure when I see new posts from him pop up in my Google Reader. :)
Zath is a cool site even from a ‘non techy’ person, his shopping links are right up to date and I love the TV drama feeds and trailers. Something for all.
Great work again, Garry! I think you just might do well here ;)

Thanks very much for your kind words Garry, I’m glad you like the site and what I write about, which is basically some of the things that interest me – I don’t think I could ever write about something that didn’t to be honest!
I hope others find it interesting and useful, also I’d like to say thanks to all my readers and fellow bloggers, without their interest and participation my blogging journey, it wouldn’t have been anywhere near as enjoyable!
You are very welcome. Thank you for giving me as well as the BlogsWeLuv crew the opportunity to publish the review!
We all wish you well with your continued success with blogging. :)

@Weefz – it was good to see you again at the other recent Sega event for Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games we attended! I didn’t realise you were someone who appreciated poor Zathras!
