From the newly refreshed and subsequently deceased 02138 magazine.
The final issue never made it to the presses, but is available online here, and worth a look for Pentagram’s design.
I got a kick out of this clever design for the November issue of The Wire, which covers “unofficial channels” in music distribution.
Maghound
Maghound is a new website run by Time, Inc. that allows you to manage and modify your magazine subscriptions from a central location on a month-by-month basis. So you can cherry pick which issues you want to receive, or try out new magazines without risking a full year subscription. It was dubbed “The Netflix for magazines” over at the Freakonomics blog, and that’s an apt description for their tiered subscription model, which ranges from 3 to 8+ magazines per month.
Definitely seems like an interesting service that I would like to try given my love of magazines, especially in the internet age. Unfortunately, Maghound lacks the selection that makes a service like Netflix work: currently, The Economist, Monocle, The New Yorker, The Wire, Gastronomica, and Meatpaper are nowhere to be found.

Some of my artwork has been pretty anti-Bush, so maybe it was somewhat irresponsible for [The Atlantic] to hire me.

Implicasphere is an occasional mini-publication that seeks to unearth and revive compelling, illuminating and curious ideas in the form of image and text fragments taken unadulterated from fields as diverse as folk craft, nuclear physics, metaphysical poetry, pulp novels, linguistics, criminology, film noir and astrology. Each issue takes the form of a single printed broadsheet and has as its theme an everyday word that seems direct and concrete: mice, string, the nose.
Since Implicasphere aims to resurrect overlooked and curious things that have evolved in the bell jar of their own peculiar history, on principle, we never commission or use content created specially for us.
Amazing scans of satirical Russian magazines published between 1905 and 1908. From The Nonist, of course.
Monocle’s Disappointing Myopia over at the Magazineer (which I had never read before).
Monocle blurs, like no Western magazine I’ve seen, the boundary between advertising and editorial. Advertiser products and services are frequently mentioned in features, reviews and articles, without any indication that there is a business relationship involved. In almost every issue, cross-branded “advertorial” is delivered in the house design vocabulary, typeface, and copy voice. The product placement even extends to the (awful) manga, where it stands out like an orangutan with an erection at the office Christmas party.

too bad the actual interview isn’t online.
True. I do like the idea of one in depth interview per issue though.
Here’s the PDF link. It was a joke evil with a cat photo.
I’d like a print version if one of you sees it in NYC, since it’s free when you find it.
