Announcing some changes at the top

It's with great happiness that I'm able to announce the promotion of Ryan Block to editor-in-chief of Engadget, and my transition to editorial director of the site. It's a move which is long overdue and one which reflects Ryan's enormous contribution and dedication to Engadget, as well as the fact that I'm spending a significant portion of my time on a number of outside projects (right now I'm praying that HGTV never decides to air the second season of I Want That! Tech Toys).

Tricking Ryan into writing for Engadget was probably the smartest thing I've ever done, and I'm incredibly excited and proud to see him take on this new role. Please join me in congratulating him!

Congratulations Ryan! Keep doing what you do best. I'm also excited to see what Peter has in store for the next stage of his life.

Good grief! Ryan Block has been given total editorial control over the most widely read tech blog in the world just weeks before the release of the iPhone?!?!? It truly is "The Fall of Man"! :P

But seriously, congratulations Ryan, you deserve it. Your posts are the best.

Keeping in tune with all the other comments (and sorry for the late comment! Sigh. . . The ONE week that I don't check the Meta site. . .), congratulations Ryan! Woo hoo!!

Don't ever change! :-)
