Introduction Articles on TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

Greetings from 30,000 feet

by David Winograd (Aug 26th, 2009)

I'm typing this somewhere in the skies over Utah using a fast wireless connection on an 8 GB MacBook Pro killing time while flying to Las Vegas. When I started with computers this experience would have been considered somewhere between science fiction and magic. Hi, I'm David Winograd and although ...

Kevin Harter, Switcher

by Kevin Harter (Jul 18th, 2009)

I'll bet you're just dying to know exactly who this "Kevin Harter" fella is that has tarnished the pages of your favorite blog lately. And just what in the heck does he know about Macs, anyway?! Well, let me fill you in. Hailing from Fort Madison, a town of about 10,000 in rural Southeast Iowa, I'm ...

Is this thing on?

by Brett Kelly (Apr 14th, 2009)

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 ...

Yet another introduction

by Todd Ritter (Dec 9th, 2008)

Greetings, TUAW faithful! I'm Todd, and after writing for Download Squad for a year, I'm fortunate enough to be able to write for TUAW. A MacBook Pro is my primary machine and I'm rarely without my iPhone 3G (who isn't?). By day I'm a systems admin for a school district in central Pennsylvania where ...

By way of introduction...

by Dan Fellini (Dec 7th, 2008)

Hi all. Dan Fellini here to introduce myself as one of TUAW's newest team members. Glad and honored to be here. I live in sunny Portland, Oregon, and work as the executive producer for an online video network. I love my job, love my city and love technology, social media, the outdoors and, of ...

Howdy, I'm a Mac.

by Aron Trimble (Dec 6th, 2008)

Hello fellow Apple fans & TUAW readers! Yes, I'm from Texas, and I'm sure it's much more a pleasure for me to be writing this than for you to be reading it. While I was exposed to Macs in elementary school I really did not "get it" until I bought my first iPod (third-generation, 40GB). Shortly ...

May I introduce myself?

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Dec 5th, 2008)

Hi y'all! I'm Megan Lavey and I'm one of the new bloggers here at TUAW. I've been writing off and online in one form or another from the time I could hold a crayon. I've been using a Mac ever since my classmates and I engaged in the first-grade version of smackdown brawls in 1986 over the right to ...

Happy Birthday, iMac

by Cory Bohon (Aug 15th, 2008)

Yes, it's time once again to say "Happy Birthday" to our old friend, iMac. Hard to believe the iMac has been around for 10 years today. Apple transitioned the "consumer device," as Steve called it at its introduction, into something more of an icon of computer design. Above is a commercial for the ...

Mike Rose: So nice to be here...

by Michael Rose (Nov 29th, 2006)

Hi there, TUAW readers; I'm thrilled to be the newest blogger in this well-appointed stable. Over the past 15 years I've been a systems integrator, IT manager, writer, editor and online producer and through it all I never quite escaped the unofficial title of "the Mac guy" -- so clearly I wasn't ...

Another bite of the unofficial Apple

by Alex Wollenschlaeger (Oct 3rd, 2006)

Hey TUAW, I'm Alex, the newest blogger around these parts. The first Mac I ever handled was one of the later Performa models. It was a beige beast of a computer attached to an ABI Prism DNA Sequencer, and I remember thinking how odd it was that there was only one mouse button. This was at a time in ...
