Judging at CEA’s new i-stage event
One of the things I’m most looking forward to being involved in this year is judging the CEA’s new event, i-stage. Think of it as American Idol, but for gadgets; the winner gets a turnkey exhibit at CES and $50k, but I’d say more importantly they’ll get some much needed attention and feedback before the [...]
Profiled in Wired, on G4 tonight
I don’t have a ton of time to get into the storied history of Wired’s year-and-a-half-in-coming profile of Engadget vs Gizmodo, but suffice it to say they spent the better part of five pages taking the typical, obvious angle (ZOMG IT’S LIKE A FRAT WAR WITH GADGET BLOGS LOL), missing the real story right under [...]
New York: ex-lover, tomorrow’s destination
Headed out to New York tomorrow for the Greener Gadgets Conference, which I expect should be really enlightening. As usual, not staying nearly long enough to fall back in love — but I’ll definitely be around more than long enough to remember how freezing cold it gets.
It’s fortuitous timing, though, because that during my last [...]
CES and Macworld: done, finally
Not that we’re out of the woods just quite yet, but there’s a certain sense of relief when everyone gets to go home, recover and tend to their wounds, and officially say we’ve made it over the CES / Macworld hump — by far the hardest two weeks of the year.
Of course, it wasn’t all [...]
On AOTS again
Was on tonight’s Attack of the Show. I hear Schlomo says I need to smile more. Don’t you people under stand? That IS my happy face. You should see me when I’m serious.
*Note, more smiling on TV.
I guess I’m a web celeb!
Wow, Forbes did me the great honor of ranking me among this year’s Web Celeb 25. Hard to imagine I’ll be able to pull this one off twice, but for now I’m definitely in good company, along with Om, FSJ, Mike, Kevin, and everyone else. Oh, bonus extra profile action here. I think I’m going [...]
Profiled in Fortune, where’s the fight?
Fortune did a profile on us vs. them packed full of trite boxing riffs — the spin being, of course, that there’s this huge, bitter public rivalry between us and Gizmodo. I wasn’t sure how they were going to pull it off since it has all the makings of a non-story: two very different publications [...]
Oh yeah, more appearances, etc.
Was on TWIT #111 last week, as well as Leo’s analog radio show (The Tech Guy), WCBS (not sure if that one ran), and a couple others, as well as mentioned, quoted, or interviewed in the NY Times, Crain’s NY (I don’t think this is out yet), BBC (twice), The Guardian (twice), The Times (twice), [...]
On Cranky Geeks yesterday
Check it out. Best part: where John Dvorak goes off on a tangent about how I look and sound like Christopher Walken. Um, wait, what?
Recent appearances on Digital Cafe
I was recently on Mario Armstrong’s Digital Cafe program to discuss early adoption and blogging, two topics obviously near and dear to my heart. (I was also recently on his XM show, Digital Spin, but I don’t have a clip from that one.)
I'm an editor and technology critic in the midst of founding a new web startup:
