Please join me in wishing Clinton Fitch a very Happy Birthday! Clinton is one of our resident propeller heads, and nothing makes him happier than geeking out with his gadgets - the latest of which is the HTC Advantage 7510. In addition to contributing as a member of the Gear Diary team, Clinton is the owner of ClintonFitch (Dot) Com! and co-owner of HPC Factor.

Now let me tell you a little bit about my friend Clinton…

We sat next to each other at the 2005 Mobius event in Seattle for two days, and during that time I think he maybe said five words to me - a fact that I have greatly enjoyed teasing him about ever since. I am not sure exactly when it happened, but some time in late 2006 we started talking, and that’s when a really tight friendship was formed. There aren’t too many days that will go by without a “Clinton!” or a “Judie!” flying across our IMs, usually followed by a “Did you see…” or a “Can you believe…”. Through Clinton, I have been introduced to his lovely wife Cindi and his precocious daughter Kat.

Through Clinton, you all have been introduced to the following choice bits:

The Herald Return of The H/PC - Review of the HTC Advantage X7510

Lego Artist

The Astraware Solitaire Review (which we did together),

and the touching My First “Pocket” PC, a Tribute to Clinton Sr.

as well as his many contributions to GearChats such as Windows Mobile…Yeah We Went There

and Discussing Sprint’s Drastic Decline.

Clinton brings so much to to the behind the scenes goings-on here at Gear Diary, it simply wouldn’t be the same without him. Please join me in wishing him a very Happy Birthday, and an even better next year!
