Welcome to Daniel Dern's Trying Technology, a blog about the technologies I'm trying, and how trying technologies can be...

See my Dern Near Everything Else blog for all the stuff that doesn't belong in Trying Technology, i.e. and e.g., stuff I'm reading, listening to, watching, or doing, and other trying and non-trying aspects of life. (There will be some inevitable overlap into and from the tech arena.)

As the double-entendre (or double-parsable) name indicates, Trying Technology is about:

• Testing out ("trying") sundry items of business and consumer technology
• The often-aggravating ("trying") aspects of today's techno-doodads, like the frustrations of too many different power chargers and cables.

As a freelance technology and business writer, I write about a lot of these products, topics and technologies, including in Tech How-To's and feature articles

However, not everything finds a (paid) home.

There's information that doesn't make it into articles that do get run (not enough space, drifting off-topic, too opinionated, etc.). And there's things I'd like to write that I can't find assignments to write -- or are being assigned and written by other technology writers (many of whom are far more knowledgeable than I am).

The intent of Trying Technology is to provide a home for stuff I haven't (yet) gotten assignments to do from other sites/publications, follow-up musings to things I've already written, and other what-not. (If you're an editor, and want to buy something from me, don't hesitate to contact me, of course!)

And now... on to Trying Technology!
