The CADMedia recruitment period has ended, and we should end up with a staff of around 20 people. I’ll be busy, and so will my current reviewers, so don’t expect much out of the section until CADMedia launches. We’re going into design phase now.

As for those who applied, if I haven’t told you you are in already, you most likely are. Most of the people under consideration were accepted, after I got second opinions from Absath. A full email about the acceptance will go out to every accepted writer. As for me, I’m very busy personally, even though it is summer. Between CADMedia CAD Chat, and my girlfriend (who is actually involved in both of those as well, oddly enough), I’m swamped. I’ve gotten maybe 20 hours sleep this week, which is a far cry from my usual narcoleptic behavior. I’ll keep working on it, and with any luck the design phase will go by quickly and I’ll be bringing you all sorts of news and assorted crap soon. (Yeah, I know thats awfully descriptive for a writer… give me a break, I’m tired.)
