Guy McDowell

Guy has been published online and in print newspapers, nominated for writing awards, and cited in scholarly papers due to his ability to speak tech to anyone, but still prefers analog watches.

Guy McDowell has been cited in scholarly articles, nominated for a columnist award, and is read by thousands every day. He previously wrote for MakeUseOf. A former RCAF and college instructor, Guy is driven to help everyone discover that they are masters of technology. You just don’t know it yet.

His journey through technology always starts with two questions – “Why?” and “How?”. It has served him well through decades of taking apart, and sometimes fixing, things like: radios, computers, phones, houses from three different centuries, power tools, small engines, large aircraft, satellite systems, alternative energy systems, oil and gas production systems, and his own brain.

Guy always fixed the aircraft, mostly fixed the other things, and is still working on his brain. Join Guy as he weaves together technical writing, prose, and humour on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and www.guymcdowell.com.
