Today is Federico Fiocchini’s last day at Vaja, and I just wanted to take a moment to tell him how much I have appreciated working with him over the years. One of the lovely things about doing reviews is meeting the people that give the manufacturers a “face”, and Federico made Vaja’s always seem so warm and cheery.
Federico has always been wonderful to deal with, but it wasn’t until I started Gear Diary that I realized what a good friend he would become. He has always been happy to send review samples, willing to donate for give-aways, and most importantly – quick with encouragement regarding Gear Diary’s present and future.
I wish him the best at his new job, and I hope his new employer realizes what a treasure they have acquired!
I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
