Yep, I’m leaving Engadget
It’s true, my last day as Engadget’s editor-in-chief will be late next month (my official announcement is here). Without question, this has been the hardest decision I’ve ever made, but I know it’s the right one. And as much as I’m looking forward to new challenges (and grateful they’re not Motorola-related), I’m also really excited [...]
30-inches: too much screen?
I never thought I’d question it, but is 30-inches too much for one screen? I’m a serious resolution and screen real estate hog, so I’ll let that sink in for a sec as I recount my week spent with a 30-incher I bought (and eventually sold) earlier this year. There’s no doubt that productivity goes [...]
Who would you rather sit next to on a bus?
Been pretty caught up over the last couple of weeks — especially in our iPhone 3G review and coverage — but one lasting memory I’m definitely going to take from 2008 is Bill’s last day at Microsoft. One Engadget commenter made a poignant remark that kind of brought it all home: Who would you rather [...]
That rumor going around today
Well, looks like my man Mike finally found occasion to write about me (little does he know, I’ve spent years plotting my way onto TechCrunch). Granted, I’m not commenting on that (or any) rumors about my career and future, but it’s never a bad thing to have people interested, right? It’s certainly a lot better [...]
Veronica profiled in August issue of PlayStation Mag
Nice, Veronica was profiled in the August issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine! I don’t think it’s on newsstands yet, but I can’t wait to give it a read. Photo from V’s Flickr.
Maybe we’ll pay you, AP, if you pay us
Of all the AP quotation commentary floating around in the last week, I think possibly the most effective point came from [edit] a certain well-known conservative author [/edit] who, by the AP’s own scale, claims she’s “owed” some $130k for unauthorized quotes and excerpts from her blog. Clearly, if the AP wants to impose these [...]
Joystiq turns four!
Hard to believe Joystiq is four years old today! I remember the old days with Pete and Ben Zackheim (who’s actually still in the AOL Games family), working to get it off the ground, helping fill in stories for Joystiq between posts on Engadget. Four bits of Joystiq trivia: Joystiq’s first E3 (Engadget’s second) is [...]

Biggest day ever
This is Engadget. This is Engadget when Apple launches a new iPhone. Any questions? Thanks again to everyone who stopped by today to read our coverage of the iPhone 3G launch — it’s always an extraordinary amount of fun and a real honor to be the go-to place for big news in the gadget world. [...]
Page one!
Excuse me for a moment of self indulgence here, but I noticed my search referrers were going up for my first name — and as it turns out, I’ve gone from page two to page one (number ten, to be exact) for “ryan.” Okay, I know it’s nothing compared to Veronica, who claims the number [...]
I'm an editor and technology critic in the midst of founding a new web startup:
