Quick Profile of an Interesting Person: Ed Bott

As Windows 7's release date creeps closer and closer, I've begun seeing one man's name and articles in my RSS feeds - Ed Bott. If you're looking for someone interesting to follow in your RSS, check out the sort of posts he's been putting out recently:

What I like about Ed is that:

  1. He writes about interesting topics
  2. He writes thoroughly about those topics (he's likely to give you a legitimate 7 page article, for example)
  3. He pulls no punches ("Good lord, that was the worst CES keynote ever. I watched it over the Internet from a hotel room in Hawaii and finally gave up about two-thirds of the way through." posted January 7, 2009 - read it here)

Ed is also an author (see his books on amazon.com here)

So check him out.

Protip: don't use Internet Explorer to view the ZDNet.com website - it's just so full of annoying ads that it's un-viewable IMO. What I would suggest is to use Firefox coupled with the AdBlock add-on (available for free here). Then, after viewing a page or two, you can right click and block the more offensive/annoying advertiser's images.
