Happy Birthday Clinton!

Posted on 03 June 2008 by


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.

Happy Birthday Clinton!

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! :mrgreen:

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

    Happy Birthday Clinton! I don’t know Clinton too well but now I know that I need to put down my coffee mug and make sure to swallow before I read anything from him again.

    Have fun mate!

    Bjenk, if there is one thing I am guilty of it is saying something without filtering. :-)

    Wayne, voice of reason? YES! I have you fooled! :-)

    Chris, no, Hillary will not have a good day but I’m Repub…. oh never mind, not going to discuss politics here! :-)
