No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you; Gear Diary is fortunate, because we get to have two team member’s virtual birthday parties in a row. :-D

Please join me in wishing a very Happy Birthday to Christopher Gavula!

Happy Birthday Christopher!

From the very beginning, Chris entered our site with a BANG. His first post was about technology busting the Detroit mayor, and he hasn’t stopped sharing his wicked laser sharp insights since…

Chris is passionate about mobile devices, and you can almost feel his frustration when he writes about the direction (or lack thereof) of Palm and Windows Mobile - usually in the comments sections of new device posts. He calls it like he sees it, and he is quick with both praise and criticism when its deserved.

Some of my favorite Gavula posts include The Upgrade and the Hand-me-down: A Weekend Project, So You Want to Buy a Car on The Internet…, and When Good Opinions Go Bad. If you happen to live in a Gulf state, and you see a 2008 Scion xB Gold Rush Mica Release 5.0 zip by, then you might have caught a live glimpse of him.

Chris has been an important part of our behind the scene gabbing, as well as our more public GearChats including Windows Mobile…Yeah We Went There and The Demise of Print Media and a Possible Reason for the Amazon Kindle. We are fortunate to have Chris on our team, and we look forward to hearing much more from him!

Please join me in wishing Chris a very Happy Birthday and an even happier next year! :-D
