Last day (sort of)

Friday, August 22nd, 2008 - 11:45AM

Strange how the timing on some of this stuff worked out: my last day as editor of Engadget is almost exactly one year to the day after Josh, Pete, and I — the first three editors-in-chief of the site — published our letter to Palm. (Naturally, I had to follow it up in my new column, Engadget Cares.) Even though I’ll be staying on as editor-at-large, leaving has still been a pretty emotional process; thankfully, I feel really secure in the team at hand, the state of the site, and its future ahead under my man Josh.

At the same time, Peter and I are also really looking forward to launching our new company. Having tackled the news thing, we’ve spent a long time dreaming about the kind of gadget site we might like to make next. So you can expect we’ll be hard at work behind the scenes hammering it out — more on that soon enough!

  1. I can’t wait to see what in the hell you have under wraps. I’m sure it’s going to be good.

  9. I think Leo Laporte was saying something about that recently. Just rumor for now!

  10. My guess is the next gig will be a super Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD site, being that was your greatest post as Engadget.
