Catching Up: Crazy Week

Jason, last week everything went kind of crazy with the dogs and work, and my machines.

Catching up: Gears

Hey Brian, Are you excited? I’m excited. Why am I so excited? Because we’re getting ready for our Gizmodo vs. Wired match in Gears of War 2, which you’re going to be participating in. Maybe. If we can’t find someone better at video games that is (just kidding). I’m also excited about finally getting Wii Fit, which you’ve just given your six month review of. Running on my treadmill will definitely help me more than this toy, but it’s an additional motivator. Good times!

Catching Up: Our Readers Are the Best

Hey Jason, I have this ongoing irrational feeling that no one reads us. Which is why when I meet a geek who tells me they spend all day at work wasting time on Gizmodo, it makes me super happy. I had that happen last night at Lucky 13 hanging out with Xeni and the guy from Telstar Logistics.

Catching Up: Blurry Vision

Hey Brian, I’m writing this not from the Herman Miller Embody chair we reviewed, but from the detached “saucer section” of the Treychair, which I reviewed last year. Why? Because I can’t see the TV that well from my couch, so I need to sit closer. I’m getting old.

Catching Up: Politics = Scary. Puppies = Crazy Yarn Face

Jason, How did your Halloween go? I’m really proud of Matt for writing that political tech piece today. I think it was well put, but you can always count on flames when you put something like that on a tech blog. Not so with puppies. We just got one.

Catching Up: Lawn, Kids, Off

Hey Brian, It’s my first Halloween since I moved into my new house, so I really need to make sure I have enough candy so the neighbourhood kids don’t change my exterior paint to eggshell white. That means no fun size candy—only the good stuff.
