It's a new month, a new week, and a new edition of 90 Seconds on The Verge. It's my first shot at hosting the show, but something makes me feel like I was meant to do this. It's fate, or destiny, or a week of drinking tequila on the beach. Something mysterious and ineffable like that. Spiritual, if you will. Won't you take this extremely short journey with me?

Oh — and we're still new at this! Tell us what you like and tell us what you don't like down in the comments, but most importantly, tune in again next tomorrow for more 90 Seconds on The Verge.
