It was August 2005 when I received an e-mail from former PCMag editor-in-chief Jim Louderback, predicting that Gearlog.com was going to be a great success. After winning the "Magazine Blog of the Year" award in Feb of this year, I'd say that Jim's prediction was spot-on.

As one of the original bloggers of Gearlog (Dan Costa and Carol Mangis hopped on the Gearlog train with me soon after the blog launched), I'm proud to say that we've survived two years of blogging about iPods, robots, and wacky USB devices.

Our very first Gearlog post was written on August 9, 2005 by David Coursey, a former PCMag freelancer, on a new ultralight tablet from Toshiba. What was my first Gearlog entry? The now defunct Sony AIBO Robotic Pup. Wow, hard to imagine!

Big thanks to our readers who visit Gearlog for the latest news, reviews, and rants in the technology world. We wouldn't be here without you.
