Brian Alvey leaves WIN
Man, now Brian too! Brian pinged me earlier today to let me know that he was hanging it up here at WIN, officially marking the end of our three-and-a-half year partnership. Working with Brian has been amazing experience, Brian has the most intense work ethic of anyone I’ve ever met and single-handedly built and developed…

Time for a podcast player unconference?
I know it’s been a while since I talked about this, but I was just thinking the other day about Dave Winer’s panel at Mix07 about creating the perfect podcast player and thought: Why don’t we do a unconference about this?

Thanks
Crazy week, huh? I hate talking about Engadget over here, since technically this is supposed to be my personal blog, but I would like to say thanks to everyone for their patience and understanding during this whole situation.

Judith leaves WIN
Can’t believe that it’s actually happening, but Judith Meskill is leaving WIN. She’s one of the few people actually predates me at the company, and it’s truly hard to conceive of this place without her holding down the fort and watching our back. Judith went way beyond what you could ever expect from someone. She…

New Balance offers unknowable pleasure
If this isn’t an April Fool’s Day prank then I am severely weirded out right now.

Ten years
Forget all those April Fools Day hoaxes that are going around; the real news is that Scripting News reached the ten year mark today. Big ups to Dave for both pioneering the genre and toughing it out for a decade, blogging can be something of a contact sport. I’m just about three-and-a-half years from the…
