Catching Up: Goodbye PC Magazine

Hey Brian, Did you hear that PC Magazine is ending its magazine edition and focusing solely on the online space? Sad to hear. I was one of those kids that grew up having a subscription to PC Mag in the house, every month reading what crazy uncle Dvorak (plus those other dudes) had to say about something or other. SCSI. And Windows. Stuff like that. Although I haven’t had a sub to them in years, it’s always sad to see an end to something you used to enjoy. Supposedly EGM might be getting the cut as well, but that’s a decision for next year.

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.
