the more current, the more important.
smaller writings
dan tells you that he reads too much. (which you already noticed.)
some of the magazines that he reads are:
- science news, which is a weekly 16-page newsmagazine of science.
not enough math and computer science, and way too much soft
science. but it's kind of fun.
- utne reader, a bimonthly news and culture magazine. its web
magazine, utne lens is superb.
- lingua franca, which is a fine highbrow magazine for intellectuals
and academics.
- details magazine, which is not. instead, details is the magazine
that has a questionable relationship with its closet. it had an
affair with a man a few months back, and told one of its female
friends. she was kind of surprised and told it not to make any major
lifestyle changes, but it went to a gay bar. it didn't feel
comfortable, but it really liked the music and got a couple phone
numbers. it's also worried that it doesn't look nearly trendy enough.
- technology
review is my alumni magazine from mit. it's also quite well done,
in my view.
- the onion has become by far my
favorite source for news-related humor on the web lately. it's fantastic.
- the ithaca times, which is not on the web.
- the syracuse
post-standard, which is one of the best papers you can get here.
scary, huh?
- any number of occasional readings, from music to art to
pornography to science to literature to theater to culture.
