GearBits on Hiatus (Updated)

As the recent frequency of postings here at GearBits might have hinted at, we're taking a break. Until further notice, there will be no new content on this site.

The combination of various technical issues (comment spam, most specifically) and an increasing sense that the web just doesn't need another tech-oriented blog has convinced us that our time is better spent with our families, at our jobs, and just consuming other people's content for a while.

GearBits will likely come back at some point, as I'm a serial hobbyist (if I made money at every endeavor, I could claim being a serial entrepreneur). When it does reappear, however, it will be something a bit different.

I thank my co-authors for their time and creativity. These past 15 months with the site have been enjoyable (mostly) and interesting (always), and I expect we'll all be keeping our eyes peeled for the next new opportunity.

In the meantime, if you hear of anything nifty or have questions about us or this site, feel free to drop me a line at craig at memoware dot com.

Best wishes, and thanks for stopping by.

Update: Jerome asked me to offer up some other tech news sources I'd recommend. The following can individually more than make up for GearBits, so enjoy:
• Brighthand -- pure handheld news
• Engadget -- Peter's land of gadgety goodness
• The Gadgeteer -- great tech reviews
• ExtremeTech -- lots of great personal computing info
• TeleRead -- ebook news
• Lost Remote -- TV and media news
• Lockergnome Tech News -- all-purpose tech news site
• Wired -- but of course!
• Slashdot -- all that and karma, too
• Boing Boing -- general society & strangeness
• Gizmodo -- great gadgets & gear blog
• PalmInfocenter -- happenings in the Palm OS community
• Phonescoop -- THE place for phone news
• infoSync World -- my source for a European perspective on tech
• Watchster -- great tech blog aggregator

There are many, many other great sites, of course, but these are the larger ones I visit regularly.

Update #2 (11/8/04): I've started a personal blog where I can wax philosophic on a variety of topics likely to be of interest to no one but myself. If you want to check it out, it's at http://craigfroehle.com/blog
