TWiT

Starting May 14th I’ll be doing a whole lot of different things.

On that day I’ll step down as a full-time employee of CNET. I’ve been there almost 6 years. They were my lifeboat after TechTV sunk and I’ve met and worked with some awesome people there.

But I’m burying the lede. Starting June 1 I’ll be joining Leo Laporte’s TWiT network as a daily host. Stay tuned to TWiT for more details on what I’ll be doing there.

As for CNET, I’m still working out the details of what I can continue to do there. Maybe Top 5, and maybe some regular appearances on BOL.

Overall I’m incredibly excited. This will allow me to keep doing some of the things I love for CNET, while opening the door to a whole lot of creative flexibility and control over my own content.

So what kind of content do you want to see on TWiT? I’ll have some 20 hours or so to fill, so ideas are more than welcomed!

Thanks again to CNET for being pretty cool through this process and a huge thanks to Leo for having the confidence in me to give me this opportunity!

And thanks to all the folks who watch and listen to what I’ve done over the years. Because if you hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t be able to do any of this.

Update: For perfectly understandable reasons, CNET has declined to keep me on part-time to do any shows. But I do have pitches out at a couple other outlets. Plus they’re paying for the drinks on my last day, so I’ll make sure to make them feel it then.

Had a blast sitting in with the ‘original artwork’ hosts of TWiT this weekend. leo, John C. And Norton and I discussed ipad, ACTA, and Google Books. A good meaty episode.

Molly Wood and I joined Leo Laporte on his official TWiT broadcast from CES. Dr. Kiki and Digg CEO Jay Adelson also joined in the fun. It was the last thing I did at CES and one of the most fun. I’ve never been on TWiT with Molly before, but Leo’s been on Buzz Out Loud enough, it felt perfectly natural and familiar.

We talked about some of our favorite things we saw at CES, and chatted a bit about hand gloves and foot socks.
