& Reviews Editor, ComputerWorld
As of December 3, 2007, I've moved from InformationWeek to
ComputerWorld, an IT/tech publication with a strong print and online
presence.
Reviews
Editor, InformationWeek.com
Everyone needs a day job, and until November, 2007, I worked as reviews
editor for CMP's InformationWeek.com, a well-known technical
publication (both in print and online) catering to those knowledgeable
in the world of IT and technology. I assign, edit, and occasionally
write reviews, and contribute to the InformationWeek
blog.
Features and Reviews
I spent many years as a freelancer writing for print and online
publications for many years now.
While most of my work took the form of product reviews and
features about technology, I did occasionally break out into other
subjects. These are links to some of my past articles.
Web Site Content
While many Web site owners are expert in their particular field, they
may not be able to perfectly express that expertise in words. This can
turn into a major problem with company sites, where minor errors in
spelling or grammar, or an inability to express oneself perfectly, can
give visitors the impression that the owners are neither professional
or expert. As a freelancer, I helped fix that.
Consumer Column
Several years ago, I was employed at Computer Shopper,
where I wrote a column called "S.O.S."
(Shopper's One-Stop Solver). Each month, I would investigate one or two
letters that we received detailing problems with a vendor and explain
how I solved the problem and how the reader could do the same if
necessary. To prevent my being besieged by hundreds of aggrieved
consumers, we kept it anonymous. Nobody knew who SOS really was --
nobody, that is, except me, my boss, my friends, and now, you.
