			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, looks like my man <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/01/engadgets-ryan-block-and-peter-rojas-to-team-on-new-startup/">Mike finally found occasion to write about me</a> (little does he know, I&#8217;ve spent years plotting my way onto TechCrunch). Granted, I&#8217;m not commenting on that (or any) rumors about my career and future, but it&#8217;s never a bad thing to have people interested, right? It&#8217;s certainly a lot better than the alternative.</p>
<p>What I will say &#8212; and it&#8217;s the same thing I told Mike earlier today &#8212; is that, as I enter my fifth year at Engadget, I&#8217;m still totally focused on it, our team, and living up to the enormous level of trust our readers place in us day in and out. (As I&#8217;m sure <a href="http://www.veronicabelmont.com">Veronica</a> would tell you, I&#8217;m probably actually <em>too</em> focused.) I can also say that I had no idea until today that I owned 39+ domain names, but that&#8217;s pretty awesome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spark Capital VC <a href="http://www.paulgillin.com/2007/10/new-england-bloggers-talk-shop.html">Bijan Sabet quoted</a>: &#8220;We&#8217;ve had a fair share of press releases that have gone out on the wire and I don&#8217;t see much return from that. We had one investment company get picked up on Engadget and got a 14:1 return versus a mention on TechCrunch.&#8221; There&#8217;s no way you could extrapolate any real data from that quote, but it&#8217;s interesting nonetheless.</p>
