Waiting for the Smart Grid
The "smart" electric grid has held great promise for 15 years, but it's not always been clear how deeply it's penetrated our infrastructure -- or what benefits it's delivered. The current state of smart-grid technology, who's implemented it, and where improvements are likely to appear.

Official Bio

Here’s my portfolio.

I have over 20 years’ experience in communications, most visibly as a technology journalist. IPG members mostly know me from the period of 1994-1997, when I wrote and edited for Ziff-Davis, particularly MacWEEK; and from 2006-present, as a freelancer.

I’ve also served corporate clients, provided public relations services, and produced educational courses. My main strength is in explaining highly technical subjects in ways that are clear to non-technical audiences, while preserving the important details. And I love putting together teams who can do that!
