Kate Baggott is a Canadian freelance writer currently living and working in Europe. Best known as a technology columnist for Globe Technology and Business Speak Magazine, Kate has never met a new technology she didn't want to play with. The initial exception to this rule was Internet dating.

In Our Store The Practical Romantic The Practical Romantic offers a look at the practical and the emotional aspects of the Internet dating culture.

"A friend worked as a designer for Web Personals (now Lavalife) and she convinced me that I would find plenty of attention if I tried the service," Kate remembers. Now married with one child to a man she met on the Internet, Kate recounts her own often hilarious, often frustrating romantic adventures and balances them with the stories and advice of other veteran Internet daters.

Kate's writing about personal, political and technology issues has also appeared in Today's Parent, the Vancouver Sun, the Christian Science Monitor and Now Magazine among other publications. She earned her BA at the University of Toronto and MFA in Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia.
