Hi, my name is Harry. In 1998, I launched this personal site–and it’s been around ever since, in various forms and with less or more activity on my part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This current version launched in May 2007, with a modest revamping in October 2009, some additional tweaks in June 2012, a bit of a redesign in May 2016, and a bigger one in August 2021. I live with my wife Marie and our cat Moon in the Westlake District of Daly City, California and am global technology and special projects editor at Fast Company<\/i>. Before that, I was an editor at large for TIME; before that, I founded and edited a web site about personal technology called Technologizer<\/a>. Before that I was vice president and editor-in-chief of PC World<\/a>. Here’s my Linked In profile<\/a> with more details about my professional life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You actually won\u2019t find much at all about technology on this site. My Fast Company<\/em> author page<\/a> has my recent writings, and you can visit Technologizer<\/a> to see what I was up to before that. TIME<\/em> also has an author page with stuff I wrote for them.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the longest time, the photo of me on this page was borrowed from a 2007 New York Times<\/em> article about my journalistic adventures. I finally decided to retire it in favor of a more recent portrait. But you can still read the Times<\/em> article<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
