Hello Ryan!
While we were visiting at Mahalo, we ran right into Ryan Block, the majordomo of Engadget–the geek-lovers’ Web site that was once part of Jason Calacanis’s Weblogs empire. It is now owned by AOL, which forked over a large bag of cash, mostly due to the popularity of Engadget, to buy the company.
Block was getting ready to throw a party for attendees of the E3 games conference in Santa Monica, Calif., so we decided to have a little video chat about the iPhone–Engadget’s bread and butter of late, including such posts as an imagined mock-up for a cheaper next-generation Apple device pictured here–and also WAP and other trends.
But, of course, we asked about life at AOL. Sorry, Ryan!

P.S -My comment about the free camera was only because Kara was filming this using a PureDigital camcorder –the kind you get for free if you let some place like CVS make you a DVD of the video you record — not because I think she’s on the take. Then again, she is blogging, and the internet would have us know only bloggers take bribes…
Think about it.
