When we heard last week that Scott McNulty was departing The Unofficial Apple Weblog, we were—on the one hand—greatly saddened. Scott has been blogging about Apple since before I even got into the game (ironically, I first met Scott at Macworld 2006 when I was a mere fresh-faced youth on the hunt for a job), and he’s one of the most respected and talented writers in the community. In the world of Mac blogging, Scott is a veritable rock star: he served as lead blogger at TUAW for several years, and while we may have been competitors in that time, I’ve always been pleased to count him as a friend and colleague.
But when the universe closes one door, it opens a window (to get a nice draft and conserve energy, you know), so I’m even happier to announce that Scott will be joining MacUser’s team of crack commandos as its newest Senior Contributor. You know our mission: to bring you not only up-to-the minute news, but also the kind of incisive, cutting-edge analysis that we can only distribute on the Internet—because if we printed it out you would be at risk from lacerations. We think Scott is just the man to help us accomplish that goal.
If you know Scott—and heck, if you don’t, you soon will—you’ll also know that he’s a man of many talents on the vast reaches of the Interweb (be sure to check out his excellent video podcast on cooking, Fork You). We plan to make him feel at home here, which, as far as we can tell, means making him muck out the comment spam filter and forcing him to write endless blog pieces about Microsoft Exchange compatibility—we hope you, dear readers, will give him a similarly warm welcome.
Yay!
Welcome Scott!
looks like i'm going to start reading macuser. congrats on gaining one great blankbaby! subscribed:)
Congrats! :)
MacUser just got infinitely more gooder.
Nice! Congrats, Scott!
So the rumours were true! Scotty is indeed on the MacUser team. Time to switch from TUAW to MacUser :)
So I was bummed that Scott was leaving TUAW, and had started to look at other mac blogs. I found this site 2 days ago and..... Scott moves here!
Sweet.
Welcome aboard! Having Scott write here now makes MacUser an even better destination for Mac news!
Sweet! Guess I'll start reading MacUser now too.
This is great for us readers, great for MacUser and hopefully great for Scott. We all win!
I am happy to be here. I intend to bring a little of that 'McNulty magic' to MacUser... or something.
MacUser's RSS feed just got added to my daily reading list!
To copy Ryan: Sweet!
While we will miss Scott greatly around the TUAW headquarters, we're glad to see he's landed on his feet. Dan, be careful -- he's not kidding about the "no blue M&Ms" clause in his contract rider.
Awesome .. congrats to both MacUser and Scott! :)
Yay! Here's a shot of Scott at the blogphiladelphia conference last year: http://flickr.com/photos/jasonsmith/829585357/in/set-72157600782142573/
Hi Scott! MacUser rocks!
Hello Scott, Hello MacUser!
You are now in my "Daily Mac" folder (open in tabs) in my Safari Bookmark Bar.
I'll be here daily, (now, how to join up!)
Another TUAW reader has just landed here.
:-)
I can't blame you for leaving TUAW. I've been using TUAW as my only Apple news source for a while, but given the increasing amount of brain-dead posts by the people who are supposed to be posting on a commercial blog, I'm looking for a replacement. I'll have to give this site a go.
