			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaFilter">Every now and then, we here at Technabob decide to expand our horizons and add another brilliant mind to our humble writing crew. That time is once again upon us. This time, we&#8217;re looking for something very specific &#8211; someone who knows, loves and lives electronic gadgets. I&#8217;m talking about stuff like smartphones, digital cameras, e-readers, media players, and media room gear. If you&#8217;re still using that 8-track tape player, or you think that a Blackberry is a fruit, move on &#8211; this gig isn&#8217;t for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;padding-top:10px;"><img class="size-full wp-image-23653  aligncenter" title="keyboard_cat_2.0" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/keyboard_cat_2.0.jpg" alt="keyboard_cat_2.0" width="600" height="449" /></p>
<p>On the other hand, if you&#8217;ve slept in line waiting for the latest wonderphone, know your Kindle from your Nook and can tell the difference between LCD, OLED, LED, and SED, you could be the one.</p>
<p>You’ll need to be able to source (at least some of) your own stories, and demonstrate both technical knowledge and a keen grasp of the English language. You&#8217;ll also need to have some experience using blogging software like Wordpress, and be able to do some basic image cropping and scaling using Photoshop or something along those lines. You&#8217;ll also need to stick to a regular posting schedule of 2+ posts a day. If you&#8217;re already writing for another blog, that&#8217;s cool too &#8211; you just will need to provide original content for us.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re not going to get rich writing for us, but it&#8217;s a great opportunity to do something you enjoy, get exposure for your writing, and build up industry cred for your resume.</p>
<p>If you think you&#8217;re up to the challenge, just e-mail an <em>appropriate</em> writing sample or two to <a href="mailto:tips@technabob.com">tips@technabob.com</a>, along with your contact information. Be sure to include a brief e-mail explanation of why you think you’d be a good fit for the Technabob editorial team. You get extra points if you tell me what the Satio, QRIO and Mylo all have in common (besides the letter O).</div>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time again. Technabob is looking for a few good writers to expand its coverage of all things geeky, gadgety and gamey.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s that time again. Technabob is looking for a few good writers to expand its coverage of all things geeky, gadgety and gamey. If you&#8217;re fanatical about video games, gadgets, electronics, hack &amp; mods, or generally offbeat tech stuff, you could be just the guy or gal we&#8217;re looking for.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5211 aligncenter" title="chimp_reporter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chimp_reporter.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="415" /></p>
<p>You’ll need to be able to source your own stories, and be able to write with wit, sass, attitude or at least be slightly charming. You&#8217;ve also got to be consistent. I&#8217;m looking for people who can write 7 to 10 posts a week, maybe more if the readers fall in love with what you have to say. A solid grip on the English language is also a must. You should also have at least some experience using blog software such as Wordpress, Blogger or Movable Type &#8211; and basic image cropping and sizing in Photoshop or other image editing tools is required.</p>
<p>Now before you get dollar signs in your eyes, I&#8217;ll tell you that blogging for Technabob won’t make you a millionaire. But it’s a great opportunity to expose your literary talents to hundreds of thousands of readers each month.</p>
<p><strong>Want to give it a shot?</strong> Pick a topic that you think will appeal to Technabob readers, and send along at least two appropriate writing samples to <a href="mailto:tips@technabob.com">tips@technabob.com</a>. Be sure to include your contact information, and a brief note on why you’d be the perfect addition to the Technabob crew.</p>
<p>I look forward to reading your submissions.</p>
