About Tom Merritt

Tom Merritt hosts many podcasts across many networks including Tech News Today on TWiT, Sword and Laser on Frogpants and of course Top 5 on Revision 3.

But it wasn't always like this.

At one time in his life Tom was just a lonely child in his bedroom playing with lint and string, as he wondered what his life would be like someday.

Then a magical confluence of events molded him into the man his is today. One fateful year he received a TI-99 4/A computer and The Book of Lists and discovered Casey Kasem's American Top 40. His future as the host of Tom's Top 5 was assured.

Sure Tom also ran the website at Tech TV back int he day and yes, he helped start and co-host Buzz out Loud at CNET for five years, but at
heart, Tom really just likes to count things down.

Tom has run SuBBrilliant.com since 1996. It is a collection of Web experiments including SuBBrilliant News, a parody news blog, and the East Meets West podcast which features Revision 3's own Roger Chang.

You'll also find Tom as a guest or interviewed as an expert on many TV, radio and Internet shows like ABC's Good Morning America, CBS Radio, NPR, CNN, The Phileas Club and more.
