We are the Mac Borg. . . .

...Resistance is futile.

As you probably noticed this weekend, there are a few more blogging voices here on TUAW: Fabienne Serriere and Damien Barrett and we're pleased as punch to have them on board. They've both done their own little intro posts, but I wanted to welcome them and talk a little bit about why they are here.

Fabienne, whose last name is spelled like derriere with an "s" at the beginning (she shared this insight with me the other night in chat), is our first European correspondent here at TUAW. She was living in Paris but recently headed for more German parts, so she should be bringing some more Euro-centric posts to the blog and covering some of the hours when the Yank TUAW bloggers are all nestled in bed, visions of sugar plums projected on 30" Cinema Displays dancing in our heads. She's also a far more advanced-than-most-of-us coder and music hacker whose posts you may have read before both on Engadget and Hackaday.

Damien, whose last name is spelled like ferret with a "Ba" instead of a "fe" at the beginning and with an extra "t" at the end, is a well-known fixture of the Mac Internets, as he has for quite some time run the incomparable blog, Mr. Barrett, which we here at TUAW have been regularly stealing from blogging about and pointing to as an invaluable Mac resource. This was making us lazy, as we'd just jump over to Damien's blog and reblog, so we decided that he must be assimilated, and now he is one of us. Fun fact: Damien is a twin and is one half of the team of blogging brothers who were trying out for The Amazing Race a few months back.

In any case, make them both feel welcome. We're happy to have them on board so that we can continue to bring you more / better Mac blogging.
