Glenn Fleishman

I started writing at a young age and never stopped, but I don't have the soul of a poet. Rather, I've always wanted to know how things tick, and I have knack for explaining that to other people.In the mid-1990s, after short careers as a typesetter, at Kodak at an artists' teaching facility, and as a managing editor at a book publisher, I began to write about technology and how it works.I've written dozens of books since and thousands of articles. My latest books cover using Apple's Wi-Fi base stations and the software program BBEdit. I write regularly for The Economist, Macworld, BoingBoing, and TidBITS, and appear on public radio quite often. In my spare time, I'm part of the geeky podcast, The Incomparable, in which we discuss books, comic books, movies, television shows, and broader subjects such as introducing fiction of all kinds to our children.
