My two main interests, technology and writing have been combined into blogging, which I am quite passionate about (and prolific). If we focus in on my top technological interest it would have to be all things Apple.
What would be my dream job?
Perhaps, blogging about Apple and getting paid for it?
Well, my dear readers, hold onto your hats because I am living the dream!
That's right, little old Blankbaby is now a contributor to Weblogs, Inc.'s blog about all things Apple, The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW for short). The best part is I am getting paid to do something that I would do anyway, and I am doing it on a site that gets several orders of magnitude more traffic than Blankbaby.
What does this mean for Blankbaby?
Mostly, the number of Mac related postings will decrease significantly (is that rejoicing I hear?), and the overall number of posts may take a slight dip (so expect only 200 a month now).
If you are interested you can read the post welcoming me to TUAW (written by Barb Dybwad with whom I share many strange parallels outside of an unhealthy interest in Apple), my first post, my post about the iTunes Music Store Ireland, and Free Music on TUAW right now.
I am so excited!
Congratuations, Scott, on your big blogging break! Don't forget about the little people.

Good work Scott! : )
Whew, I can stop skipping all those posts now and just read the good stuff.

Woah. I was just talking about Weblogs Inc. with some other folks.
Congratulations man!

You did hear rejoicing. Thank heavens all these apple postings will be in a safe place viewable only by other Apple(tm)(r)(c) lovers.

Congrats! You know what's a great way to celebrate? Free iPod contest! Yay!

I guess we will have to go get some dinner this weekend to celebrate.
You lucky bum!

And I just came for the Apple posts. (Un-Julie =))
Well, it was nice commenting here!
Joking of course.
Well done Scott. I'm subscribing to TUAW now on Bloglines...
(And enjoy your weekend off.)

Yes, we demand a free iPod contest. My inner contest whore overrides my need to mock iPods.
Posted by: Becky | January 09, 2005 at 08:21 PM
While an iPod give away is a good idea, it ain't gonna happen on this site!
Unless, for some reason, I get a free iPod.

Somebody told me to come here for the free iPod contest?
:)

Barb, all know what happens when the rumors start. :)
