Sonja Thompson

My name is Sonja Thompson. I've worked for TechRepublic since October of 1999, starting with the enewsletter team, then with the Premium Products group (creating books and CDs), as well as programming some of the elements on the site. After leading the Tech News team on TR, I jumped at the opportunity to switch gears and try my hand at video editing, podcasts, and other forms of multimedia on the site. I'm currently the host of the Smartphones blog, plus I edit the TR Dojo video series. \ \ I graduated from the University of Louisville. Since then, I've also completed several technology related courses from SmartPlanet. My goal is to learn about the TR community, interact with members on the site, and hopefully encourage more people to participate - and more often.

TechRepublic members photos vie for CanvasPop gift cards

At the end of 2011, we received a few gift cards from CanvasPop. Since editorial integrity prevented us from using them ourselves, we offered them to the TechRepublic community. Of course, since we didn’t have enough to share with everyone, we decided to award them to three members who submitted the best photographs. Here are all of the entries. Congrats to the ones we liked the most, and many thanks to all of the participants.
