If drinking coffee were an Olympic relay event, the Mobile Nations EiC team would win Gold!
In last week's From the Editor's Desk post I gave the heads up that I would be busy this week hosting the EiCs of our other Mobile Nations sites. Making the trip into Winnipeg for our EiC Summit were Phil Nickinson of Android Central, Rene Ritchie of iMore and Daniel Rubino of Windows Phone Central, who just this month further upped his committment and is now running that community around the clock.
To say the time was well spent would be a massive understatement. Fueled by passion (and shot after shot of my signature Espresso with an occasional Starbucks and food run in between), we got a LOT accomplished. We communicate face to face frequently as it is -- Skype and Google Hangouts make it so easy these days -- but there's an energy and magic that happens when you bring people together in a room that no virtual environment can duplicate. Plans have made and we're all ready to execute. We'll be pulling the trigger on a ton initatives over the weeks and months ahead and into 2013. Get ready for it. Awesome stuff is coming your way. It's funny. I've been at this game since 2006, yet it feels like we're in start up mode yet again. We have a vision and we're on a mission. So let the games begin!
Last week I promised we'd deliver our Jaguar story. I ran out of time to get it done before the guys got here, so I'm going to keep this week's FtED short so I can get back on that. Look for it soon. In the meantime, be sure to click back to CrackBerry.com and through the last few pages of posts. The team kept the site BUSY.
Until next week... Keep Fit, and Have Fun! (Ok, so that tag line is a rip off from Canada's Body Break commercials, but it feels fitting given the Olympics are on).

From the Editor's Desk: Talking to happy BlackBerry Z10 owners
With a few exceptions, I have been a hermit the last 6 weeks. Coming home from CES in Las Vegas, there was a week of craziness packing things up and taking care of loose ends as I prepped to move to Toronto for a month. At Toronto's CrackBerry's BlackBerry 10 Launch Campaign Headquarters, we were pretty much heads down from early morning until late at night every single day. Returning...
From the Editor's Desk: BlackBerry 10 launch, reactions to the Super Bowl ad and the second coming of CrackBerry
It's Sunday night. It's been an insanely long and awesome week. I'm a little tipsy from Super Bowl bevvies. I've already done a lot of writing today. So I'm copping out on the writing for this week's From the Editor's Desk and doing it video style. To be honest, I probably could have went on here for an hour. There's THAT much to talk about between the launch event, the BlackBerry Z10...
From the Editor's Desk: Hello Toronto, home of CrackBerry's BlackBerry 10 launch campaign headquarters!
Hello Toronto.... CrackBerry Kevin is in the city!
From the Editor's Desk: Bangkok has him now
Simon Sage... reporting live from Bangkok this week! We've had a *slight* change in our CrackBerry coverage plans for this week. As I type this, I'm now sitting in a hotel room in Miami, Florida, while Mobile Nations' Simon Sage is somewhere over the ocean in an airplane, making the long voyage from Ottawa, Canada to Bangkok, Thailand. The original plan was for me to hit up ...
