Verso-tile: The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) gains a Portland-based Mac fanatic

There are tons of great blogs around the Silicon Forest. And, by extension, that means we have a bunch of great bloggers. So it stands to reason that, every once in a while, one of those bloggers makes the leap from the farm leagues to the big show.

The latest to make the jump? Kelly “Verso” Guimont, who just got the call to join The Unofficial Apple Weblog—affectionately known as TUAW—as a new writer.

TUAW is one of the most popular blogs for Mac and iPhone geeking and it tends to be a great resource for early peeks at upcoming technology—not to mention a great place to go for tips.

For the record, she’s more than qualified to discuss all things Apple:

I’ve been a Macintosh user in some form or another since very early on (I drew with a turtle and don’t understand versions of Oregon Trail that are anything but green), and I’m currently Leopard Certified. I live in Portland, Oregon, which is a great place to be a Mac Geek since we have three Apple retail stores and loads of Mac places besides. My current setup is a Unibody MacBook and an iPhone 3G, but I still get some mileage out of my 80gb iPod and I still have a PowerBook G4 and a blueberry iMac DV around in case I need them—you never know!

This latest role adds to Kelly’s already busy Portland docket, leading the Portland WordPress Users Group, assisting with Beer and Blog, and volunteering for Open Source Bridge.
