Is this thing on?
Hi there, my name is Brett Kelly and I'm one of the new bloggers here at TUAW.
My first Mac was a second-hand G3 PowerMac that I received as a birthday gift about 5 years ago, which has since been upgraded to a white MacBook that I use for absolutely everything (and my kids use as a coaster). I have a first-generation iPhone because I've convinced myself that EDGE is just fine -- or something.
Apple stuff aside, I'm a husband and dad, a web developer, tattoo collector and coffee enthusiast (meaning I roast it myself in my garage). I'm also something of a recovering productivity nerd, so don't be surprised if you see my name at the top of posts ogling over the latest list management application. Yes, it's a sickness.
I've been doing various blogging bits for a few years now (mostly in the realm of personal organization and "lifehacks", as it were), but nothing quite as high profile as this, that's for sure. I'm very excited to be a part of this stellar team and I look forward to presenting you with many thought-provoking, interesting posts, as well as more than a little poorly-executed humor.
Like most of the cool kids, I'm on the Twitter and would love it if you'd say hello. Thanks for having me!

Brett hope you enjoy working on the TUAW but be prepared the bunch here can tear you a new one...so be on point!
good luck and look forward to hearing more from you
although I miss reading things that Aron, Megan and Mat would write
I hope they are not gone for good...
btw...did I miss a chance to apply for a blog spot here?
last one I had stuff all planned out and my less than 6 month old Samsung 250GB hard drive died on me and I had a hell of a time just getting the Macbook up and running again so I missed out on the chance
Hopefully you can actually formulate a cogent sentence unlike the other bloggers at TUAW.

Live by the red pencil, die by the red pencil.
i dont recall ever seeing your posts on lifehacker

It is just me or do you find most coffee geeks are also Mac Geeks?
Oh I also have a coffee blog called:

You have a good stay Brett.
