The first thing I do when I receive a copy of Wired is to tear out the ever-growing stack of useless ads and business replies they put in.  Here’s a photo of the latest stack:

This waste of paper makes it all the easier to cancel the magazine.  I’ve noticed its covers have gotten less and less tech-oriented, and way more Hollywood – you can browse their covers here.

The worst was the Pam Beesley “Get naked and…” cover – not necessarily because of the photo, but because the cover was describing an article on a modern “transparent business” (where the business reveals its internal workings) which had absolutely nothing to do with The Office.  The last issue (with an expose on “Manga in America”) seemed a bit light on content and heavy on graphics as well.

One less piece of reading material in my backpack.
