The dearth of blog posts here is not alarming. It’s a good sign. No, really.
Actually, I’ve just been busy. Here’s just a few things I’ve got cooking:
- Radeon HD 5970 performance preview at Maximum PC online
- The eight card roundup I wrote for Maximum PC (print) also went online
- And in a trifecta, my column on the state of AMD also went up at Maximumpc.com
- I just wrapped up a formal book proposal and submitted that (more details if it gets approved)
On a related note, it looks like I’ll be writing a couple of articles a month, plus blogging for Anand Shimpi over at Anandtech. I’m looking forward to that.
More stuff to come here as well, so stay tuned.

The “state of AMD” link must be wrong, you end up on the Maximum PC Not Found page.

Noticed you in the latest edition of Maximum PC and recall you from various podcasts. Good luck in all your your endeavors.

Loyd,
I hope your book gets approved. Be sure to ask John C. Dvorak about the “dummy contract” that book publishers like to use. According to Dvorak, the first draft of a contract a new author will see is the publisher’s “this is the stuff we’d love to get away with” draft. Anybody with a competent attorney or agent should be able to get the most egregious stuff removed, and some will be able to get a truly fair contract, but the inexperienced or naive will simply sign that “dummy” contract and have virtually no rights and very little in compensation for their work.

Hi Loyd,
Glad to see your articles again. I just went searching for the gang from Extreme Tech because I miss the great podcasts and articles you published. You all are very knowlegable and informative. I really feel a loss in my source of information since ZD made all its changes. To me they forgot one important business idea, it is more expensive to get new customers than keep your existing customers. I think ZD hurt their customers by the changes they made. I no longer consider them an important source of information. I know their industry is changing but they had my attention by the stuff you did at ExtremeTech and also DL.TV.
I will keep an eye out for you on MaximumPC and Anandtech. But cannot find a good site for TV technology.
Best Wishes,
Victor
