on Tuesday, Sept. 18.

New York Times columnist to offer
‘Mobile Gadget Show-and-Tell’
During his “Mobile Gadget Show-and-Tell,” Pogue will demonstrate
the most unique portable devices that have crossed his desk in the past year.
The event is free and open to the public; it will take place at 6 p.m. in the Levinson Auditorium of Yale Law School, 127 Wall St.
A 1985 graduate of Yale College, Pogue writes the weekly “State of the
Art” column (featuring reviews of current technology) that appears on
the front page of the “Circuits” section of The New York Times
each Thursday. He also pens “Pogue’s Posts,” a daily blog
on the latest technology news. Additionally, he is creator and host of “The
Curmudgeon,” a weekly two-minute video review of consumer technology
products via nytimes.com. His recent videos include “iPhone: The Musical.”
Pogue has also authored or co-authored seven books in the “for Dummies” series
(including those on Macs, magic, opera and classical music). In 1999, he launched
his own series of computer books called the “Missing Manual” series,
which now includes 30 titles.
After graduating from Yale summa cum laude, with Distinction in Music, Pogue
moved to New York City, with aspirations to compose and conduct Broadway shows.
He worked as conductor, synthesizer programmer, arranger or assistant on several
Broadway shows. He then began teaching the Broadway community how to use Mac
computers.
Pogue began his journalistic career writing for Macworld Magazine in 1988,
and wrote the triple-award-winning Desktop Critic column until November 2000,
when he joined The New York Times as personal-technology columnist.
The Poynter Fellowship in Journalism at Yale was established by alumnus Nelson
Poynter, who received his master’s degree in 1927. The fellowship brings
to campus journalists who have made significant contributions to their field.
Recent Poynter fellows include David Brooks, Al Franken, Charlie Rose, Margaret
Warner, Judy Woodruff and Bob Woodward.
