I like to read the comments to blog posts just as much as I like to read the original posts. This writer did a great job of capturing the nuttiness of blog comments.

I don't get it. But why do I want to?

“Imagine if you could only buy a newspaper in the middle of the day, and you could only read it at the office during work hours,” he says. “That’s kind of the world we used to live in until fairly recently. How successful do you think newspapers would be?”

This is -- to me -- an incomprehensible quotation from an otherwise mildly interesting short article about a website I like a lot called Longreads.com. And now I know there's a Longform.org too. So much good writing out there.

If anyone bothers to read the entire short article and then understands the above quotation maybe that person will explain it to me. If it's something really obvious I'll be embarrassed but at least I'll know what it means.

Newspapers may be dying but magazines seem to be doing OK.

Kitt in Denver posted about a magazine called Cowboys and Indians. It reminded me of this magazine.
