 I miss wired October 19, 2003

*Design*
This magazine is beautiful. I've still got their 2nd issue from way back then and their designs used to be outrageous up until completely unreadable. Fortunately Wired's current design is still (somewhat) cool, but readable. They've won all the prices: that alone is a reason to check it out.*Content*
Wired is often wrong, very wrong even. Anybody remember "push technology"? (they dedicated a significant part of an issue declaring that the browser your still using was obselete), Wired Fund?. There are many examples where Wired makes *big* mistakes . However, its counter-culture meets business meets high tech stile is unmatched. A visionary that produces a new vision every month can't be right every time. That's why I am taking a subscription again. Buy a newsstand issue, love it, and get a subscription too.

What I like about wired: it's simple, they forget about rules and guidelines and push boundaries where they can be pushed, write stories nobody else wants to touch on, say what they want about products that others won't dare. It's what this magazine is known for. They keep things interesting every month and they are quite diverse that you can always find a way to spend an hour or two going through the magazine. How many other magazines out there will write a FIFTY page article about the DOJ vs Microsoft and not give a hoot about how much space that took. Or write a aritcle after article that on some pages are just nothing but text, no pictures, no cheat sheets, just text. Or that review products givng them a bad name while the advertiser is staring you in the face on the next page. They have a cult following and a very talented staff....please, check this out...it's so cheap you owe it to yourself to get a subscription!!

This is an awesome read. Great topics, great writing. Wired is always a couple of months ahead of the game. Watching the topics that are covered in prime time TV, I often wonder if they take their cues, and get their inspiration from the social issues covered here. Wired also offers great insight into technology and the businesses that surround it, profiles design trends, and occasionally covers cutting edge sports too! I loved their recent article on kite-surfing.

I do not consider myself a computer/tech geek by any stretch of the imagination - however - I am amazed at the things I've learned and are fascinated by when reading WIRED. Can't say enough good things about the magazine that covers topics from global warming to what stuff really goes into your pet's food. Covers video games that I can talk to my sons about and things that make me feel smart - like about the human anatomy, etc. READ IT!
