The original post was about tech *journalism*. 

On your website (http://hmcwritenow.com/ <http://hmcwritenow.com/>), these are the clients I see from the last month, and their apparent category:

* Channel Mechanics (vendor)
* Redmond Channel Partner (publication)
* MDSL (vendor)
* New Horizons Computer Learning Centers (vendor)
* New Horizons Career Development (vendor)

That's 1 journalism client out offor 5, 2 portfolio pieces out of 12.

I'm not arguing that one can't have a full and rich life writing for vendors. But your current career, no matter how wonderful it may be, is no counterexample to the idea that David Needle is "one of the last tech journalists".
