Speaker: Rob Pegoraro, _The Washington Post_
What's worse than forgetting your laptop's power adapter
before embarking on a 5-day business trip? And, choosing not
to pack your phone's power adapter--because you can just
recharge it off the laptop's USB port. This month's speaker,
_Washington Post_ technology columnist Rob Pegoraro, managed
to pull off this two-fer of blunders 3 years ago on his way
to the Consumer Electronics Show, but then managed to put in
a solid week of reporting.
Pegoraro--who, despite his youthful appearance in some
out-of-date photos, has been doing this long enough to
remember when "filing copy" meant dialing up to a _Post_-run
BBS and pasting text into a terminal window--will talk about
what to do in that situation. He'll also share other tips
about gadgets, software, and services he's used and
appreciated when traveling for the _Post_ and on his own
dime.
Speaker: Rob Pegoraro writes the "Fast Forward" column, a
weekly look at computers, the Internet, and consumer
electronics, and the "Help File Q&A" feature. Online, he
writes the "Faster Forward" blog, hosts Web chats, and holds
forth on Twitter.
Pegoraro has been with the _Post_ since 1993, during which
time he has sorted mail and answered phones, written for
many other sections (so far, his byline has appeared in
National, Metro, Style, Sports, Health, Food, Home, Weekend,
Real Estate, Outlook, Sunday Arts, Sunday Source, Travel,
Book World, and the Magazine), and made it onto the front
page twice.
