Ryan Tate and I have been friends for quite some time. The kind of friends that many a journalist / writer shares... as we flit from job to job, we keep our friends - like sources - and keep in touch through our networks of friends in common that we work with at our current jobs.All that to say I am a big Ryan Tate fan. Now that he's at Valleywag, we just had to get together, if even publicly, on The A-List.
