It’s funny how things work out sometimes. Little did I think that when we moved to the UAE I’d start a Mac web site, but I did (www.emiratesmac.com); little did I think I’d become editor of an Apple magazine, but I did (www.shufflegazine.com); and never did I imagine I’d be writing about tech for a daily newspaper. But now that last bit has also become true.
Shufflegazine has partnered up with The National newspaper here in UAE and we’ll write reviews of gadgets and other tech related articles for the paper. It’s a great way to get Shufflegazine’s name out there and it’s a great way for them to get content.
So look out for the first article next week. Not exactly sure when yet but Thursday through the weekend is a good bet.
Today we lay the groundwork for something pretty exciting. Although we’re not ready to reveal all the details just yet I can tell you that today we principally agreed with a major newspaper in UAE to write gadget/tech reviews for them. Shufflegazine would get a page every two weeks for reviews and commentary on the latest tech and gadgets. That’s pretty exciting. It takes us away somewhat from the core of Apple stuff as we now would cover everything but we’ll of course keep the magazine and Shufflegazine.com as they are. Since we don’t get paid for these articles the tradeoff is of course exposure for us. A newspaper reaches more people every day than we do in a month.
Since I’ll be the main writer of these articles, at least for the foreseeable future, I quickly get into the somewhat scary but also very exciting position of being one of the best known tech writers in the country. Every two weeks I get published, with my name and credit to Shufflegazine.com, and thousands of people will read what I have to say.
So even though everything is agreed in principle and the first article should be published next week, we’ll get back to you with all the details. For now, I’ll leave you with my excitement 
One thing that I’ll try to post more about on this site is our new offroad adventures. About a month ago now we got a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. It’s the four door model so we can take some more people and stuff than in the smaller Wrangler and it still goes pretty well offroad. We’ve been out in the desert a few times and I’ll post more here real soon about that.
Not much and everything at once. Both Crystal and I have been very busy with CENTIMETERCUBE and Shufflegazine. We’ve both promised to try to get better at writing here on the site but let’s see how it goes.
