I just want to celebrate…by announcing our new bloggers

Kate and ThomasIt was a mere year ago today that Scott, Aaron, and I joined MacUser—a triple threat of blogging. In that time we’ve authored over 2000 posts combined and had a metric boatload of fun doing it.

So it seems only fitting that on this one-year us-iversary that we add two new bloggers to our ranks. You attentive readers have already seen a couple of their posts, but they’ve yet to have their formal coming out party.

Kate Marshall comes to us from the depths of Philadelphia, where she daily dodges the attacks of cheesesteaks, Liberty Bells, and Ben Franklin impersonators. City of brotherly love—yeah, right; there’re few places more dangerous than the cradle of independence.

We may not be able to pronounce the name of MacUser’s first international blogger, Thomas Gagnon-van Leeuwen, but rest assured that he can school us bilingual-style from his hometown of Montréal, Québec (I totally had to drag out the high school French for the right accents there).

So be as nice to our new writers as you would be to us—strike that, be way nicer. At least for a week or so; then you can give it to ‘em with both barrels.

Hey, don't we have child labor laws? That little kid must be 12 years old. Or maybe human beings age differently in Canada. Boy, I gotta move out of NY!!

It would seem Philly is the place to be for us Mac bloggers.

@Scott: Yeah, besides Kate, you, and Mr. Gruber, our own Pat Nakajima's down there too. We'll have to have a meetup next time I make it down the coast.

@Moe: Now, now. I said be nice. :)

I meant no disrespect. To be young is to be alive. Ok. I'm just jealous I missed that "want to be a Macuser blogger" deadline. It was Sunday, I was at Church.

It's easy to explain, Moe. We have outsourced our blogging to Canada due to the lax child labor laws there.

This also explains Jim Dalrymple, by the way. And the writers of "Stargate."

As a Canadian, I am proud that finally our (relatively) small voice will be heard, and we can become one with Americans. :)
