A tech journalist I admire, Michael Rose of the The Unofficial Apple Weblog, put together a podcast panel to go over the top Apple events and apps of the year … and I was on it! I was honored.
From the show notes:
‘Tis the season for wrapping up the year that was into a neat bundle of best-of reviews, and who are we to argue with tradition? More …
My illustrious tech-writer counterpart Jeff Carlson did me a solid yesterday in a personal-blog post that generously promoted the work of others —including mine — as well as his own.
As 2013 wraps up, and especially now that it’s a week before Christmas, I’m sure you’re getting pitches from all directions for products and services to spend your money on. I certainly am. More …
