Not to seem like some sort of merc, but is this for pay or strictly volunteer work... for, uh, the love of the sport... of blogging?

So with 4 people blogging for TUAW it will sure change the way votes are carried in the super secret TUAW back offices. I forsee lots of 2-2 tie votes.
I think you should put the submissions up to a vote. Let the readers decide!
Good luck.
/looking forward to more entries.

Alexei, don't quit your day job, but it is a pay gig.

Hey! Readers deciding who gets the job! How reality TVish!

...and we all know what kind of hilarity happens on "reality" TV.

Does it require Star Wars knowledge? Because, from the requirements, the Star Wars association makes me nervous... I've never seen a single Star Wars movie!
Everything else on the other hand, I got that covered.
Maybe I should turn in that iPod Shuffle review. Bah, what am I thinking, I couldn't get it anyways. Good luck to whoever gets the position. As they say in numerous online games, "you r t3h r0xx0xr!".

Forgive me if my eyesight has failed me, but do you have any kind of "due date" in mind for applications? I suppose ASAP is always a good rule of thumb, but wondering if there was a hard timeline

Writing for a Mac site sounds like a blast, especially since I comment on so many different ones. The problem for me is that when it turns into a "job," then I won't want to do it.
It would be my first "real job" in my 26 years of living. Sounds more fun than getting overpaid to work at "home."
Fishes,
narco.

Maybe instead of letting the readers decide who gets added, we should let the readers decide which of us to pick off every week. Forget Survivor... I'd like to see a Ten Little Indians thing going on I think.

Yes, Oliver. Adding quotes to the word "home" makes it all so mysterious. It's best to keep my identity a mystery, for the sake of mankind.
Fishes,

I did come across narco's identity somewhere once.
It helped explain "Fishes".
