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!

Great! Perhaps this means you can leave the house again ;)
Nice, I time saved this.
Yeah, I’m actually excited about being based in Harajuku (their office is across the street from Harajuku station), it should make me social again!
I recommend everyone time save this.

Nice! Congratulations! Café Paus must weep though.
Yeah, I haven’t told them yet…
Congrats!! I have been reading Pingmag for a long time and it’s one of my fav. sites ever.
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…
Congrats Jean! Pingmag is one of the best things on the net. Hope you make it even better.
Congrats! Do more video!
As usual continue your good work. BTW art and design is cooler and interesting than games I would think.
I agree with the other poster, more video would be nice. (youtube is free for posting)
yay, Jean! Congrats!!
Jean, I’m most excited for you! It just seems right.
congratulations jean! it’s the perfect job for you! i only visit pingmag whenever you post about it anyway.. that’s when interesting posts are ;)
congratulations jean, pingmag is lucky to have you!
Nick, why so surprised? I think I was always a safe bet. I’m in with Kitano.
Hey, that’s great! It does feel a bit like destiny… I’m looking forward to seeing what you bring to the site.
Omedetou, Jean! This was just a question of time, right? ;)
Congratulations!
