Editor's desk: GDC bound!

I'm about to leave for San Francisco, California and the Game Developer Conference (GDC 2013). I certainly don't have to tell anyone here how great the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad are for gaming. Whether or not Apple "gets" gaming, they've enabled a lot of technology that a lot of developers have used to make great games. That's why, increasingly, iOS is a big deal in the gaming industry, and at events like GDC.

I'll be there along with our gaming editor Simon Sage, and Windows Phone Central's Paul Acevedo. Our goal at the show is to get a better idea of where mobile gaming is going in 2013, get a look at some upcoming titles, and do our very best to bring you all with us. As always, the official stuff will go up right here on iMore, Android Central, CrackBerry, and Windows Phone Central, and if you want the behind-the-scenes shenanigans, you should follow us on Twitter @reneritchie, @simonsage, and @segacon.

Because I'm flying today, I recorded the iMore show on Friday, and with Dieter Bohn from the Verge to boot. (Dieter started the show way back in 2007, and the first podcast I ever did was with Dieter, so it was great to have him back on.) He's one of the mightiest minds in mobile, and the show was a blast, so if you haven't already, check it out.

We've also got what might be the biggest episodes of Debug in the history of Debug coming your way Monday, so make sure you check back here in the morning. You won't want to miss it.

Don't forget, iMore is looking for a full-time assistant editor, so if that's you, make sure you check it out.

We've gotten a ton of applications already, but since I'll be away, we won't even be able to start going through them until next week. That means there's still plenty of time to get yours in. Also, We may be looking for a few more part-time writers in the near future, so if you don't have the experience necessary to help run a site like iMore -- and frankly, that skill set isn't too common yet -- there'll be ways to get a start too. More on that soon!

Also, If you're a developer, designer, gamer, or iMore reader in SF, don't hesitate to say hello. I'd love to talk to you.

Now, up up and away!
