John Paczkowski
Encyclopedia
John Paczkowski is an American journalist and blogger who authored the irreverent technology news and opinion blog Good Morning Silicon Valley for Knight Ridder
and The San Jose Mercury News
from 1999 to 2007.
Of Paczkowski, venture capitalist and entrepreneur Paul Kedrosky once said, "(he) is quietly creating the most drily funny oeuvre of tech-related commentary anywhere. He is cheerfully adept at sticking in the knife, catching executives speaking sweet nothings, and generally providing much-needed context for the silliness that passes for Silicon Valley speak."
On January 5, 2006, Paczkowski officially announced his retirement as Good Morning Silicon Valley's editor to take a position working with Wall Street Journal reporters Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher
on AllThingsD.com
, an online extension of the duo's annual D: All Things Digital conference.
In May 2007, Paczkowski was fingered as the anonymous author of the Fake Steve Jobs Blog
- the spoof diary of Apple's narcissistic founder. This was incorrect, as the real author was Daniel Lyons.
