I’ve been writing about technology full-time since I helped launch InfoWorld back in 1981. I co-wrote the seminal history of the personal computer, Fire in the Valley (it was the basis for the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley). I was editor-in-chief and then editor-at-large of Dr. Dobb’s Journal forlikeever. I have been a columnist or editor for a bunch of computer magazines. Four different columns for MacUser alone. Model and scripter for an Italian comic strip. Co-wrote the Computer History entry in the online Encyclopedia Britannica. For ten years edited and published a programmer’s magazine called PragPub. I continue writing at my blog and elsewhere, and edit books for the Pragmatic Programmers. My partner Nancy Groth and I live on a wild and scenic river in Oregon.

One reply on “About Mike”
I was just going through some old cut out and saved articles and found one you did for MacUser in April 1993 called Users and Lusers. I was an early Mac user, started the Eugene, Oregon Macintosh Group, a HyperCard developer and more. Anyway, I thought I’d say hi. I live in Connecticut now, long retired but still keenly interested in technology.
