PingMag

Oh, that would be me.

It’s my great pleasure to announce that as of next month I will become one half of the PingMag editorial team, replacing the departing — and very dear — Verena Dauerer. Somehow, it feels like it was destined to happen — maybe the reason I link so often to them — and I’m very, very excited at the prospect of contributing to a site I’ve followed and loved for so long.

And yes, this means I’m leaving Wired’s Game|Life — I become unWired tomorrow. As most of my friends know, I really have enjoyed covering the games industry over the past eight months — and I hope to continue to do so in some capacity in the future as well — but being at PingMag means that I get back to covering all of the things that make up my mind-space: art, design, pop culture, music, architecture, film, etc.

Hope you’ll all follow me there!

  13. These movies always have a surprise ending — so it’s Jean Snow who survives the gory trials of Blogger Royale to become the last man standing on Gaijin Island? Even I (lying dead in reel two) didn’t see that coming!

    But hush, Beat Takeshi approaches with his reward…

  16. As usual continue your good work. BTW art and design is cooler and interesting than games I would think.
