I just published my first in what will be a whole lot of New York Times personal technology articles for non-nerds. "A Universe of Gadget Advice" leads those of us (read: me) who can't follow the gadgetspeak on Gizmodo through the hell — well, the heck of online last-minute gadget gift shopping. NYT techniology [sic] editor Damon Darlin turns out to be a perfectly nice guy who gets my jokes. And then edits them into English. I'll be writing about cellphones, cameras, TVs, and any Web 2.0 stuff that survives Ted at Uncov. I'm pretty sure I'm now the first writer to simultaneously contribute to the NYT, the Wall Street Journal and Gawker Media. Look, you've got your creepy life goals, and I've got mine.

I would like to see you do some work for Fleshbot actually.
Okay I know you are waiting for somebody to say it so I will say it. You are the man.
Slut!! :)
Well done!
However, Brendan Koerner, who used to do the late, lamented "Low End Theory" column on Gizmodo, used to write simultaneously for the NY Times, Wired, Gawker and Slate, so don't get too uppity, OK?
I know how this will sound, but: I also write for Wired and Slate.
You're a great writer, Paul!! Way to go!!
tl;dr
@Paul Boutin: I will read these with relish!
I refuse to add to this kiss-up fest!
@Princess Sparkle Pony: He still writes for us at Giz, though he now punches out "Hype Sheet" sheet every Thursday.
Also, we do have tags to help people sort out what they want from the daily flood of posts. Well, when they're not broken.
