My name is Jon van Bronkhorst, and I’m the Executive Director of Product Marketing for the retail group at Seagate Technology. I deal with the Seagate products that you find at retail places like Best Buy, Fry’s, Tiger Direct, Amazon and others. Anything that comes in a cardboard retail box that says Seagate on it… I am lucky enough to deal with those. The fun part of my job is that, as a true geek, I get to help develop products that take the best of technologies and deliver them in easy to use consumer solutions. I’ve been dealing with computers and technology products since the 1970’s. I started taking digital photographs in 1997. Worked on my first personal computer in 1978. Got my first cell phone in 1989. Yes… I’m an early adopter!
The holidays are here! So what are you going to do for that special someone this year? Believe it or not, practically everyone can benefit from a new Seagate FreeAgent Go portable hard drive.

There’s a great new video out today about the importance of hard drive storage in the creative process. Marc Prefontaine, a Staff Photographer from O’Neill Surf, discusses all the many uses and needs he has for the Seagate FreeAgent family of products, specifically for the Mac. Marc does a lot of photo shoots for O’Neill, [...]
I’m a hard drive guy – I admit it. I have been for a very long time now. And being a hard drive guy who works in the hard drive business, I have this tendency to believe that everyone knows of the fragile nature of rotating magnetic storage devices, and the need to back up [...]
October 22 is a week away – have you got your place in line at your favorite computer retailer so you can be the first on your block to get a copy of the latest in operating system releases from Microsoft? Seriously… This is Microsoft’s largest OS launch since Windows XP. I think it’s safe [...]
Seagate just introduced the most fascinating new product I have seen in a very long time – FreeAgent DockStar.

Yesterday morning on the Today Show, my good friend James Oppenheim (www.jamesgames.com) discussed several great back to school products and technologies for kids, ending his segment with something near and dear to my heart – Seagate Replica. Replica, as James points out, is the simplest and most complete way to backup any Windows-based PC. All [...]
I just read a fascinating story on Yahoo about the regulation of P2P and other file sharing technologies. Seems the government is hell bent on making sure that these technologies don’t interfere with public safety! At issue is the apparent security breaches that have allowed people to social security numbers, medical records, FBI files, and [...]
