Scott Rosenberg, Senior Editor/Technology, grew up in Queens, N.Y., on a mixed diet of Tolkien, Heinlein, Shakespeare and Monty Python. His publishing career began in his teens with a mimeograph in the basement, and continued at the Harvard Crimson, where his skills at changing the ribbons on old Royal typewriters came in handy. He wrote for the Boston Phoenix for three years and then joined the San Francisco Examiner, where he spent 10 years as a theater, movie and multimedia critic and won the George Jean Nathan Prize for theater criticism in 1989. His writing has appeared in Wired, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Village Voice and elsewhere. He loves the Web he helped edit the San Francisco Free Press during the 1994 newspaper strike and subsequently launched his own site, Kludge but sometimes misses the smell of raw ink |
