Howdy!

Howdy, TUAW-ites. My name is Steve Sande and I'm the new kid on the block here at TUAW. Saying that I'm the new kid is a bit misleading, since I'm over the half-century mark in the age column.

I've been writing online since 1986, when I started up a Mac/Apple IIGS Bulletin Board System called MAGIC. That BBS continued for 8 years until 1994, when I began publishing a blog-like website called PDAntic.com on the web, writing about the Apple Newton MessagePad. That site went through various incarnations, ending with the latest - MovableBeast.com. I also blog and podcast occasionally on TalkingWordpress.com, and I can be heard on the MacJury podcasts as a regular jury member.

My first Mac purchase was in December of 1984; a Mac 512K with an ImageWriter II printer. My latest? A MacBook Air! My next dream machine is going to be a 3.06 GHz 24" iMac with 4GB of RAM and a 1 TB HD. I'm not sure how many Macs I've owned since 1984...

So, what do I do when I'm not blogging? I'm currently an ACN (Apple Consultant Network) member, which means I'm a certified Apple consultant. I write documentation for several commercial Mac applications, I've written a couple of ebooks for Take Control Books, and I teach Business Analysis classes all over the country.

I'm thrilled to be part of the TUAW team, and I look forward to your comments and story tips.

Good. These functional illiterate kids who have been writing articles make me sick. It's about time they brought someone in who can maybe set a decent literary example. You do know the difference between "loose" and "lose", I hope?

You teach classes all over -which- country? Spain? Georgia? Malaysia?

It may come as a shock, but people from Not-America-Land read this site.

But if it's an American-based site, I think it would be safe to assume he means the USoA.

What gives with the "I've been using Mac since the dawn of time blah blah blah." It doesn't add street cred, looks suspiciously elitist, and smacks of the "Deader than thou" and "I'm more punk than you" nonsense. Enuf.

Welcome! Don't know where else to ask this, but I suppose the comments in one of the flurry of introduction posts is as good as anywhere. (Two in one day!)

Is there any way to add a blogger who focuses on mac applications and uses in a research/engineering/science setting? I know there's lots of folks who are starting to use it beyond just the design and web content fields. Would definitely be nice to have that perspective as well. Thanks, TUAW!
