Todd R. Weiss got into technology journalism after asking his former newpaper editor to let him create and cover a new technology beat at the paper. "No one cares about technology," the former editor told him in response. Apparently, that editor was wrong. Since that time, Weiss left that job and has been an award-winning technology journalist who covers open source and Linux, data backup and recovery, business continuity, storage, cloud computing, virtualization, containers and microservices, mobile devices, IT security, enterprise applications, enterprise IT, and more. He worked previously as a staff writer for Computerworld and eWEEK.com, covering a wide variety of IT beats. He spends his spare time watching classic Humphrey Bogart movies and collecting toy taxis from around the world.
