Blogging for an iPhoneNevermind • 07.08.07
Back before I was blogging for TUAW, I was a contributor to Hadley Stern’s iPod & iTunes Hacks. After working on that book with Hadley, he was kind enough to let me write articles for Apple Matters for a little bit of cash. Jason, Judith, and Barb spotted some of my writing over at Apple Matters, and that put me on the Weblogs, Inc. radar. Fast forward several years later, and I find myself the Editorial Director of Mahalo.
Hadley has been a great link in the chain of great people who have helped me get where I am today, and I’m happy that our paths are crossing again for a side project that I think will be fun.
I’ve been itching to get back to a little bit of tech writing / blogging (don’t worry, Victor, I’m still thinking about some possible guest pieces for TUAW), so I was very pleased when Hadley asked me if I’d be willing to contribute to iPhone Matters. I get an iPhone from Hadley and I get to blog about it here and there to feed my tech blogging itch without taking this personal blog off on a weird tangent, without having to invest my own money in an iPhone, and without having to follow too closely every blip in the internets about everything Apple like when I used to post 8-12 posts a day to TUAW. When I was a Lab Supervisor for Fordham University, I had the time for that sort of information overload. At my current gig, I’m regularly much too swamped to check my feeds with any sort of regularity.
This iPhone Matters gig is a calmer pace. About 5 posts a week, focused on one little gadget that I’ll have in my hand. It’s a win win. Now I just have to wait for the thing to be delivered. 
UPDATE: Nevermind. I think last night when I was chatting with Hadley about this, I was fooling myself about how busy I actually am. Don’t want to short change him, so I wont be doing this after all.
Also, here’s my pal Randall talking about the iPhone on MSNBC:
w00t! Go, Randall!
