A new addition

Posted on December 12th, 2006 in by Mike McGann

I’m ready to announce a new member of the Brandywine New Media family: TekTruth.com.

As some of you may know, I spent a decade writing about technology, particularly home theater, and have decided to get back into the business as my own boss. Although site development was slowed by illness (which, thank God, seems finally to be once and for all on the run) I was hoping to get things up and running by year’s end and the big annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (where barring an act of God, I will not be at) and some how managed to do so.

If you appreciate my unique sense of humor, you might enjoy the long-form history of Home Theater, some 5,500 words of wit (allegedly) mixed with actual facts. Please check it out and let me know what you think, by signing up for the forums on the site.

Also, as the comments section of this site have been dominated by spam — I’m going to lock down comments and ask people to make their comments on the IHateItAll.com forums — which allow for comment on a whole range of political, social and pop culture subjects.

Finally, I have to share this shot of my stepson Eddy Foster with Gov. Mark Warner from this past weekend — a man a lot of people think will be the Vice Presidential Democratic nominee in 2008. Eddy, now a freshman at the University of Vermont, has come a long way from his days as a kid helping out on campaigns — and really came into his own running the volunteer and literature operation for my 2004 campaign. Since then, he’s moved on to a number of posts with first the Chester County Young Democrats and ultimately, the National Young Democrats.

Like any teenager, there are still times will want to smack Eddy in the head, but you have to be pretty proud of everything he’s already accomplished. He’s a good kid and has a bright future — and I have to say I’m proud of whatever small role I might have had in his choosing this path.
