Erica Sadun: Apple pride, Apple prejudice

I'm sure you're wondering who I am and what I'm doing here. In the spirit of Jane Austen, let me respond: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a geek in possession of Apple enthusiasm must be in want of a weblog to share that love." I am a long-time Mac enthusiast and technical writer and I am honored to be given this opportunity to share my Apple passion with all of you out there in reader-land.

Some of you might know me from O'Reilly's Mac DevCenter. I'm bringing my Mac consumer content here to TUAW as I continue to write there about technical and developer-oriented Mac and digital media topics. I look forward to getting to know you and I hope you enjoy my contributions to this site.

Dear Erica
I'm writing you from Italy and I don't know if this is the right way to get in touch with you. So please excuse me if I am doing it wrong (please let me know how I should do it in the future) and also excuse my mistakes but I hope you will understand me.
I have purchased an unlocked iPhone 1.0.2. in the USA and I use it without any problem in Italy, I would now like to upgrade it to better software (1.1.2 ???) but I really do not know how I can manage it. Could you please let me have your suggestions in an "easy to be understood" way? Please be also informed I am working on PC and not on Mac, so any suggestion you could give me should be for PC.
If you could send me a "private" answer I would really appreciate it or eventually inform me please when and how I will have to look in TUAW again to find you answer.

With my warmest regards from the province of Vicenza in the North/eastern side of Italy (just about 50 miles west from Venice)
Vincenzo

Wait wait wait... THE Erica Sadun? The originator of the WOTFAQ? Or just an eerie coincidence?

Welcome Erica!

Your book "Modding Mac OS X" is one of the best Mac reads ever!

Taught me a few new tricks, and reminded me of several others I'd forgotten along the way.

Great to see you now contributing at TUAW!
