The real-life adventures of your average left-of-center,
sports-crazed, technophobic, irreverent yet sentimental humor
writer come to life within the pages of All That Twitters Is Not
Goldberg. An almost fifty year-old (how the heck did that happen?)
first-time father who tries to find meaning in everything from
supermarket signs to presidential politics to the purgatory of
being a Philly sports fan and weekend athlete, Matt strikes a blow
for truth, justice and irreverence on his adventures, which
include: Ensuring that a local supermarket provides Guest Services,
as advertised Pondering the unlimited potential of selling ice
cream to Eskimos Flushing In Flushing during a Chinese New Year's
family dinner gone bad Consulting a fictitious psychologist about
his sports addiction Preparing himself to author his first tweet
Matthew J. Goldberg-author of the brand new Wordapodia, Volume One-
is a uniquely dynamic writer and speaker noted for his irreverent,
offbeat sense of humor. All That Twitters Is Not Goldberg is a
compendium of his The Tip of the Goldberg columns. He resides in
Cherry Hill, NJ with his wife Ruby, and son, Baby Ben-a beautiful
boy who always makes the author smile and laugh with his sheer joy,
kindness and playfulness. For more information on all current, past
and future writings and appearances, please visit
