Jason’s out
Man, where to start? Yes, I’ve known for a few weeks now that Jason was leaving. No, I’m not leaving with him — I’ll be kicking it at Engadget/WIN/AOL for a little while longer. What I can say is that working with Jason for the past 33 months or so has been absolutely amazing, without…

Uniqlo arrives
Elz and I hit up the Uniqlo flagship store opening in Soho today. As expected, it was almost overwhelmingly crowded, but it was well-worth navigating the masses of people that were packed inside. It’s more or less like a Japanese H&M, which is pretty much all you can ask for in a masstige clothing chain,…

Not worth waiting for
If this spoiler-laden summary of tonight’s episode of Lost is at all accurate — and it sounds like it is — then I really don’t mind so much that the show won’t have any more new episodes until February. Why is it proving so hard for them to crank out a decent episode?

That was fast
Well, that was fast. It took me about six hours before I cancelled that Verizon DSL service I’d signed up for. I needed technical support because of an issue related the wiring in the building (my apartment is wired up, but isn’t properly connected to the local loop) and instead of getting someone to help…

Five days
Ah, yes, five days without internet access at home, all because someone disconnected the one cable feeding our entire building. Guess it doesn’t help that the junction box is easily accessible from our roof — or that it’s just a rusting piece of junk. It didn’t help that my EV-DO backup totally crapped out, too…

Creativty Now and Creativity Then
I’ve been kicking it at Tokion’s Creativity Now conference this weekend, and so far it’s been disappointing. All of the discussions today have been meandering and pointless, with nearly every panelist (apart from Cory Arcangel) seemingly to the oblivious to the explosion of creativity that’s taking place online right now, with few insights into where…

Me in the media
It’s true, I’m doing my best to become overexposed: BusinessWeek.com’s readers picked Engadget as one of their favorite blogs, and somehow this pin-up shot ended up in the October 9th issue of the magazine. I was hoping I’d score a centerfold, but no such luck. [Thanks to Jill for snapping that photo and Dave Z.…

Lost lost?
Alright, I can’t be the only one who was disappointed with last night’s episode of Lost. The first five minutes or so weren’t bad, but the rest of the episode was just a meandering mess. I can forgive the occasional drab episode in the middle of February — it’s hard to keep the momentum going…

Boston trip
Just got back yesterday from my trip to Boston and Cambridge, my first in nearly five years. Ryan and I were in town for a conference, but we figured since we were so rarely in the same place at the same time that it made sense to hold an Engadget Reader Meetup. Something like 400…

“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by Google”
Bruce Sterling documents teen love in the year 2026. The Smiths reference at the end is genius.
