Most people think of computer experts as nerdy escapees from the high school AV Club who have a pasty complexion from staying indoors with their computers. Well, meet Kim Komando, the antithesis of that stereotype. (That’s her tag-line above). She has computers in her genes (as her mother helped to develop UNIX), has a degree in CIS, and experience working for IBM, AT&T and Unisys.
Kim’s expertise is in the general digital world. She has a syndicated, weekly radio show that is heard by millions of listeners and a web site http://www.komando.com that is a treasure trove of general information.
The site (and the newsletters that are attached to it) is free. The topic areas covered include Downloads, Cool Sites, Tips, Buying Guide, etc.
The topics are not very deep technically. However, they touch on many computer areas that are used both at home and in the office. I personally scan the daily newsletters for topics and software of use or interest and put the information into my group of technical tools. On average, I’ll find something useful every couple of weeks.
Give the site a try. It may surprise you and you’ll never think of computer geeks in the same way.
