I'm on Facebook and LinkedIn.



I'm a technology journalist.

@  Currently I'm a reporter at Law Technology News. Please send any LTN-related messages to ekoblentz(at)alm.com.

@  My work has also appeared in Electronic Component News, eWeek, the former FierceEnterprise, IEEE The Institute, Light Reading, Mobile Enterprise, Technology Review, TMC Labs, and Wireless Week. I started my career at the Home News Tribune.






I'm a computer historian.

@  I co-founded and serve as president of a user group, MARCH (Mid-Atlantic Retro Computing Hobbyists). MARCH activities include administering an email list, hosting the annual Vintage Computer Festival East, and operating a bricks-and-mortar computer museum at the InfoAge Science Center.

@  I participate in the Society for the History of Technology's Special Interest Group for Computers, Information, and Society.

@  My primary expertise is the history of portable computers. I was an adviser for the mobile computing portion of the Computer History Museum's "Revolution" exhibit. I often serve as a resource for other historians, media (Modern Marvels, MSNBC, International Journal of Mobile Human-Computer Interaction), and students. I perform patent research as a contractor via VintageTech.

@  I've been an expert adviser and/or source for the Asbury Park Press, ArsTechnica, BBC Radio, Esquire, Minyanville, News 12 New Jersey (alternate link), and Reuters.

@  I frequently lecture at hobbyist events such as Hackers On Planet Earth and the Trenton Computer Festival.

@  I published a weekly e-newsletter, Technology Rewind (formerly Computer Collector), from Jan. 2004 to March 2006. In that role I was cited by BusinessWeek TV, eWeek, IEEE History Center (pdf), and TMCnet. Click here for the newsletter archives. Later I blogged for Computerworld.
