Just wanted to take a moment to point out something that some of you may have already noticed. We've enlisted the aid of two new bloggers here on TUAW:
If you are a freak about downloading new freeware and shareware to your Mac or your PC at work, if you like to see how much spyware you can cram into your computer and discover all the interesting ways you can go about removing it without the IT guys in your department catching wind of your activities—in short, if you are an install new software junkie and you can write, Weblogs, Inc. needs you.
