A chat with NYTimes Columnist David Pogue

by Dolores Parker May 11th 2007

We caught up with one of our favorite tech columnists, David Pogue, the distinguished and irreverent NY Times personal technology guru, as well as author of the Missing Manual series, and not as well known, Emmy winning CBS News correspondent.

We wanted to find out his personal views on a variety of matters and how he manages to produce so much material, including weekly product video reviews, a weekly print column, State of the Art (also provided as a podcast), daily posts to his blog, Pogue's Pages, his computer book series, the Missing Manual, etc.

Does he have a staff of ten or more people who REALLY do all the work? With all the tech products he reviews, what can't he live without? Who's the girl in the bikini in his video review? Does he like old people? In short, what's his mojo? Read on for our chat with David Pogue!

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
