Please join me in wishing Wayne Schulz, a very Happy Birthday!

As you may have noticed, Wayne is our resident newshound; he has an uncanny knack at sniffing out the craziest, most off-the-wall, most interesting items…in addition to finding scoops on some of the coolest tech gadgets. It’s to the point where Clinton and I have joked that we can’t wait to hit Gear Diary first thing each morning (we are in Central Standard Time) to see what Wayne’s posted…usually written at some ungodly early morning hour (he is Eastern Standard Time).

Wayne is a madman, easily one of the most prolific news posters I have ever seen, and his items are always interesting and quite often sharply funny. His emails help make behind-the-scenes team emails some of the funniest reading ever, although many are not suitable for public consumption.

Let me tell you a little bit about my friend Wayne…

Please join me in wishing Doug Goldring a very Happy Birthday! Doug is not only a valuable Gear Diary Team Member, he is also the new owner of  JAMM and co-owner of My Today Screen. In his copious free time (heh!) he is also an attorney with the Department of Justice (Federal Bureau of Prisons), father of three little ones, fabulous husband to the lovely Sarah, and my “late night while we are both catching up on our writing” IM buddy.

Let’s just say that Doug has a lot on his plate.

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.

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

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…

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…

Please join me in wishing a very Happy Birthday to our resident stunt reviewer, Chris Chamberlain! Chris is our “go-to” guy when a review looks particularly dangerous or bloody; he almost never says no.

Think I am kidding? Then you haven’t read his adventures with poison ivy…all in the name of a good review, of course.

It’s hard to believe that a year has already flown by since I was last wishing our WonderDawg a Happy Birthday, but it has! During that time Kerry Woo has not only become an invaluable and irreplaceable member of our team, he has also become a dear friend to many of us - particularly me.

Kerry is the type of guy who is always quick with a cheerful text or email; he has a cracked sense of humor and he can make even the most mundane reviews seem fun and interesting.

Please join me in wishing Chris Chamberlain a very Happy Birthday!

Chris hasn’t been with us that long, but he has already made a mark with his humorous Pzizz review as well as his Splashnotes for Palm review. If you haven’t already caught on that he is a bit of a jokester, then just read his profile on the Team page…then take a look at his Southern Decadence picture on Flickr. The man is an animal!

If you want to encourage Chris’ warped sense of humor and wish him well, then drop him an email or comment here. You might also surprise him with something from his Wish List…Schoolhouse Rock, anyone? (as I sit here humming “conjunction junction, what’s your function?“)

Have a good one Chris!
