Local tech gurus

As a reporter who frequently writes about technology issues, I'm always looking for local "tech gurus" — sources who can explain some of the more confusing technical jargon in a way I and my readers can understand. What's interesting is that often the people I think of as "techies" don't think of themselves that way. This is a conversation we've had a couple times recently at Friday Coffeeblogging. Bill Simmon, who won the 2005 "Best Vermont Blog" Daysie, says he's not a real techie.
So does Michael LaRocque at techNtalk, owner of iampresentations. Writes Michael: "I never consider myself a tech guru, not in the slightest. I do write on this technology blog, and I do own a website design and development firm in Burlington, Vermont, but I still don’t consider myself a tech guru."
So who are Vermont's tech gurus?

While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.
