A year into my work as a copy editor for the Appeal-Democrat, I started a technology blog for the newspaper. Among the accomplishments were covering both the 2009 and 2010 Macworld shows in San Francisco and liveblogging Apple’s final keynote address at the event in 2009.
“Cisco kills Flip Camcorder.” I read that headline Tuesday and wondered who forgot April Fool’s Day was long over.

We recently became aware of mismatched price and product information which resulted in the discontinued Sony PS3 Hardware System […]
