Rick Broida

I'm Rick Broida, longtime writer-for-hire covering all manner of consumer technology. I'm widely known as CNET's Cheapskate (click "Read my blog" to check it out), but I'm also a regular contributor to Computerworld, Ehow, Money Magazine and Techwalla.

I talk, too: I'm one half of the popular podcasts Battlestar Recaptica, Challenge of the Week, and One Cool Thing.

In something resembling spare time, I wrangle zombies as the owner of Trapped in a Room with a Zombie, Detroit's top-rated escape room.
