SpouseHeather Beschizza[1]

Rob Beschizza is a British-American writer, artist and journalist, the editor of the culture website Boing Boing[2][3][4] and the founder of txt.fyi, a publishing platform described by Wired as an example of "antisocial media".[5] His works include minimalist video games,[6][7][8][9] short stories, generative software that produces psychedelic art,[10] wine descriptions,[11] and journalistic euphemisms,[12][13] among other subjects.[14] Beschizza has appeared as a news commentator on television networks including NBC, CNN and Al Jazeera.[15][16][17]

Beschizza, formerly a technology correspondent and a crime reporter, is a graduate of Goldsmiths College and became a naturalized US citizen in 2015.[18]

In 2014, Beschizza produced an unauthorized edit of David Lynch's 1984 motion picture Dune with the dialogue systematically removed, which was itself taken down after a copyright claim.[19]
