Rick's consumer-technology writing dates back to the days of the Commodore Amiga, which means he's not only very old but also very wise (and incredibly modest). He's worked for CNET, Lifehacker, Popular Science and Wired, to name a few. When he's not writing, he's almost certainly reading, watching TV, or playing pickleball. Once upon a time he wrangled the undead as the owner of a zombie-themed escape room.
