Wow! I’m extremely flattered to be on Violet Blue’s list of Top 10 Sexy Geeks of 2007! Violet has put out this list for the past two years, and every year it’s full of wonderfully smart and talented people. I guess I’m a little biased, because so many of them are my pals!

I love that she also used one of my favorite photos of me and Ryan (who was a runner-up on the list, that sexy devil). Well, this certainly made my day!

In other news (while I have your attention):
* I did an interview with MacMost recently, and realized that I say “really” more than is probably appropriate.
* Mahalo Daily is going on a short hiatus for the holidays, but we’ll be back on the 31st with some really (oops, I mean totally) amazing episodes.
* Then on the week of the 7th, look for our very special CES coverage. It’s gadget time!

Have a great holiday!

It’s a proud day for me to see Mahalo Daily featured in the iTunes video podcasting slide, especially considering we’re sharing the space with EPIC-FU and Wallstrip, and my alma mater Crave. Well, I just wanted to gloat a little, since the team has been working so hard on the show, and I’m happy that we’re getting such positive feedback.

After months of preparation (it takes longer than you would think to get something like this off the ground, believe me) the first episode of Mahalo Daily is up and running! It’s a trailer for the show (coming Nov. 5th!) and we put a lot of effort into it.

It’s a take on the video podcasts and memes that I love, and I hope you enjoy it.

Just got back from Japan yesterday, and I’m exhausted from all the time traveling involved. I left Tokyo at 6PM Sunday, and arrived in San Francisco at 11AM… Sunday. Frickin’ weird. Luckily, I didn’t have a chance to meet and marry my own father, thus negating my very existence.

Here are my photos, and Ryan wrote up a good rundown of the trip on his blog too. Everything started off a little hectic with Tokyo Game Show, plus the obvious language barrier. I tried to cram using JapanesePod101 (a fantastic podcast, btw, along with Japancast) which would have worked wonders had I not started listening to it on the plane ride over there. Also, sitting in the middle of a five-person row for a 10-hour flight? No fun.

Overall, my favorite parts of the trip included drinking spring water from a waterfall at Kiyomizu, eating okonomiyaki, being chased by hungry deer in Nara, and shopping in Shibuya.

But a lot went down while I was away, obviously! I’m proud to report that my first (paper) magazine article has been published in this month’s PC Gamer Magazine! It’s a gaming preview for the next World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. I’m super excited about it, so check it out! Here’s a preview below, it’s on page 43:

Sorry, had to blur the text — don’t want to get sued before they pay me! And finally, I did a photo shoot with my friend Lan Bui while I was in Santa Monica, and he’s posted them on his Flickr page. I was really nervous, but we had a lot of fun and I’m psyched about how the pictures came out. OK, I have a ton of crap to catch up on before I pass out from exhaustion. Back to the grind!
