What a bizarre day. Among other things…

  • Veronica’s show finally launched! I love it. The coming episodes are pure gold.
  • I got to interview #3 on my “most wanted” list — look for that on Engadget soon.
  • Google announces its long-awaited mobile platform. For the second time this year I’m genuinely stoked about the mobile space.
    • (Side note on Android, in 2004 before Google acquired the eponymous startup founded by Danger founder Andy Rubin, Peter and I brainstormed for weeks on a feature called “The Googlephone”, where we romanticized about what would happen if Google did a SideKick-like cellphone. Not even kidding. Bummer we never got it out the door.)
  • Dick Parsons, the CEO of my parent company’s parent company’s parent company — Time Warner — is apparently out.
  • Screenwriters go on strike, and I want in on that action. I write for a screen, don’t I?
  • Oh yeah, V and I were on TWiT again. (Here’s us recording from our office.)
