MARKETWATCH + DEFENSE TECH

Frank Barnako, the “Internet Daily” colum­nist for CBS Marketwatch, was kind enough to inter­view me on the move to Military​.com. Here’s a snippet:

Do you write for your­self or the reader?
Sometimes both. I think it comes out best when I write for myself. And I try to let my own sense of urgency and my own sense of cool guide me.
What’s more crit­i­cal, con­tent or opin­ion?
I think con­tent. The Internet is full of peo­ple who will rant and rave with no facts behind them. So with the stuff I am doing, con­tent is more impor­tant. There is a ten­dency in the main­stream press to just gawk and drool over the lat­est hard­ware idea with­out really look­ing at what its real capa­bil­i­ties are, how close it is to actu­ally hap­pen­ing. That’s why I think con­tent trumps opinion.
