In the late 90s Apple caught my attention as Macs were all we had in grade school. Then, in 2001, the iBook G3 was released, then iTunes and then the iPod. After spending an hour on Mac OS X 10.1, I was hooked and decided it was time to switch to Mac. Soon after switching, I started blogging about Apple but given that I was only 13 years old, the content was less than readable. That didn&#8217;t stop me from writing about Apple nearly every day.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003, I attended <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/3232855779\/\">my first Macworld<\/a> and attended every expo from NYC, Boston and San Francisco until the most recent MWSF in January. I became a total conference junkie and even found myself at CES and Photoshop World finally earning the grand invitation and attending Apple Town Hall events and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/3608843156\/\">WWDC<\/a> as press. All the while, I was a lone blogger with a passion for spreading the word about Apple and its products.<\/p>\n<p>Today, at the ripe old age of 23 I&#8217;ve seen Steve Jobs speak nearly 30 times, have written over 5,000 articles and reviews about Apple and was even interviewed in the movie <a href=\"http:\/\/hulu.com\/w\/2s2s\">MacHeads<\/a> which premiered last year. It&#8217;s safe to say that I am a Mac head and I&#8217;m happy to be joining the TAB team as a contributor among the ranks great writers like <a href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\/author\/etherin\/\">Darrell Etherington<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\/author\/charlesjade\/\">Charles Jade<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/theappleblog.com\/author\/nsantilli\/\">Nick Santilli<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy writing editorials that excite readers and inspire others to give their thoughts. When I&#8217;m not writing, I enjoy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\">taking photographs<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/adamjackson\">tweeting<\/a> and blogging about <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.adam-jackson.net\/\">food &amp; life<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/laughingsquid\/3176933253\">photo<\/a> by <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/laughingsquid.com\/\">Scott Beale \/  Laughing Squid<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=theappleblog.com&#038;blog=5550580&#038;post=44470&#038;subd=gigapple&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?a=enP1qc5ibrY:6UyYPQz7eIc:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?a=enP1qc5ibrY:6UyYPQz7eIc:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?i=enP1qc5ibrY:6UyYPQz7eIc:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?a=enP1qc5ibrY:6UyYPQz7eIc:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?i=enP1qc5ibrY:6UyYPQz7eIc:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?a=enP1qc5ibrY:6UyYPQz7eIc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?i=enP1qc5ibrY:6UyYPQz7eIc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?a=enP1qc5ibrY:6UyYPQz7eIc:guobEISWfyQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/TheAppleBlog?i=enP1qc5ibrY:6UyYPQz7eIc:guobEISWfyQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/TheAppleBlog\/~4\/enP1qc5ibrY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was a PC for the longest time.
