It was Apple's last appearance at the show, Phil Schiller was giving the keynote instead of Steve Jobs, and my then-boss, Dieter Bohn (http://twitter.com/backlon), wasn't coming in until later. I was alone in a new place, doing a new thing, and totally unsure how to go about any of it. Then I chanced upon the folks from TUAW (http://tuaw.com).<!--break--></p> <p>It was Mike Rose (http://twitter.com/miketrose) who came over and said hello. He'd recognized me from my Twitter avatar, apparently, and had taken pity on my deer-in-the-headlights gaze. He and they couldn't have been kinder, more generous, or more welcoming. (I was more than a little star struck; I'd been reading TUAW for years). We ended up at a late night screening of Avatar with Dave Caolo (http://twitter.com/davidcaolo), and a bunch of other The Unofficial Apple Webloggers , and it totally de-stressed what could otherwise have been a very stressful introduction to the Apple community. I will be eternally grateful for their class and generosity.</p> <p>I met the astonishing Christina Warren (http://twitter.com/film_girl), Nik Fletcher (http://twitter.com/nikf),Steve Sande (http://twitter.com/stevensande), Victor Agreda Jr. (http://twitter.com/superpixels), Bret Terpsta (http://twitter.com/ttscoff), Kelly Guimont (http://twitter.com/verso) and many other TUAW-luminaries past and present that week and at events that followed, and every one of them, every time, was informative, inspiring, and just plain fun.</p> <p>So, when it was announced that AOL is killing TUAW off (http://www.tuaw.com/2015/01/31/tuaw-ceasing-publication-on-february-3-2015/) effective Tuesday, February 3, 2015, I very quickly went through the 5 stages of internet grief.</p> <p>TUAW's content will be preserved in archival form on Engadget (http://engadget.com). The confluence of unique and outstanding people who made up TUAW, however, will move on and their voices will continue to grace the Apple community.</p> <p>I look forward to seeing what's next for them, even as I raise a glass for what was.</p> <p>Cheers, TUAW team.
