Wanna blog for TUAW?
It is that time again, we are looking for even more high quality bloggers (mostly to make up for the questionable quality of my posts). If you live, breathe, and eat Apple we want to hear from you.How do you apply? It is very simple. Send the following bits of information:
- A brief bio
- 3 samples of posts written in TUAW's style. One should be a review of something, another an opinion piece, and the third can be whatever strikes your fancy (existing blog posts cannot be used, this has to be new material)
- Your current Mac setup

Well, I already wrote this post: http://asteroid.divnull.com/?p=59
So, I guess now all I need for two more "samples of posts written in TUAW's style" are two gushing reviews of nearly identical iPod cases.
How much time Scott, in your opinion, is required per week to be a valuable member of the TUAW team? I'm sorely tempted to apply, but already have a full time job. What's the committment?

(Hey Laurie!) and Scott -- a question as to the opinion piece; I'm not trying to be funny (at least not here) - but exactly what do you mean in regards to that? For instance for the 'anything goes' one I wrote about a few new products (announcements, not reviews) and of course voiced my opinion about a few of them.
And I'm reviewing software, which again, I'm giving my opinion on (what else is a review?).
So when you tag one post as 'op' piece, in regards to what? ie 'Will the 16:9 video ipod come out?' 'Will the ipod cellphone come out?' 'Are there more switchers lately?'
Can wannabe-writers from overseas apply or not?

It's not enough to have technical background and a Mac; you need to be proficient in corny tag lines and smelling Jobs' bunghole whenever it even thinks about activity.

I want to know about your current Mac setup to get a feel for you, and your relationship to your Mac (sorry people who don't own a Mac need not apply).
All three sample posts should be original, and not posted on a blog somewhere.
There is no due date. :)
