GET WIRED

I subscribe to Wired Magazine, and even though it's difficult for someone of my "advanced" age to read (because of the layouts) and even though I probably don't agree with their politics (they always sound like whiny college grads who will be libs until they start making real money)... it's a good way to keep up on electronic gadgetry.

They also manage to throw in an interesting (though I'd like them even longer in word count) story, and last month was no exception.

Note that when you subscribe, you'll end up getting, like, five issues at once, and then the others at seemingly random intervals. Must have something to do with Wired Cool.

Nonetheless, I recommend the mag.

HERE'S a story from the last issue about the salvage crew that righted the car carrier, Cougar Ace, that had nearly turtled in the North Pacific. A real adventure tale.

Now if they could just do something about the disappearing words in the layouts! I know it's hip, but Jeez!
