About Gabe Goldberg

I\'m a technology writer/editor/consultant - the words work in any order!I\'ve written extensively for the Washington Post personal technology and real estate sections (with over a hundred pieces published in six+ years), AARP\'s Computers and Technology Web site (where I provided problem solutions and advice on their Web board), and AOL\'s Advanced Internet Forum. I contribute to other boomer/senior-oriented publications such as Compu-KISS and the Guide to Retirement Living Sourcebook. I\'ve contributed to newsletters from Computer Economics, Inc. in Carlsbad, CA and EEI in Alexandria, VA; and, for decades, many computer-oriented trade publications. I co-authored three McGraw-Hill technology books and for several years, I edited and primarily wrote an IBM technology magazine highlighting use of its product lines for a CxO audience.I develop/write compelling corporate messages, converting techno-babble into clear success stories which motivate action; I exploit press opportunities as a technical/industry expert. I\'ve managed customer and user group relations, serving as technical and company spokesman.If you have untold success stories or unsatisfied corporate goals - let\'s talk!In addition, I advise small businesses on positioning, marketing, and business development. Specialties include trade/general press writing/editing, book publishing, demystifying technology, and small business consulting.I\'m a frequent user/technology group and conference speaker/organizer.I\'m a committed volunteer and leader with Potomac Area Technology and Computer Society (PATACS), a venerable Washington, DC area organization dedicated to helping people use and benefit from all sorts of technologies. The group\'s motto is \"Users helping users\". Outside the technology context, I\'ve been a board member at a local professional theater and I\'m Chairman of my police station\'s Citizens Advisory Committee.
