that’s kinda what I did today. I read some Issue 8 submissions, I wrote some emails, and I counted statistics of website traffic. The first day or two after the release is an odd time of the month. It feels like we should be running around like crazy, scrambling to get things done – and […]
Since last night’s post was really an announcement about the release of Issue 7, I thought i should do an actual day-in-the-life post.

Suffice to say, I don’t think we have the time to produce a copy of each issue in enough formats to work on every portable device. So it looks like we’ll be offering 3 digital versions: for the Kindle, […]
