[REVIEW'D] New York Mag's Design Issue

As soon as the annual New York Magazine's Design Issue hits newsstands, you can basically hear the tornadoes of jealousy whirring up all over the city.  Because unless you have a job where you make mannny millions of dollars a year, you're basically guaranteed to live in a way shittier apartment  than any of those shown in the mag.

Online Design Mags: Some Thoughts

Reading an online magazine is ANNOYING (though, I will say, I do not feel this way on the iPad. That shit is dope). That pdf flippy thing just sucks a dizzle. And if I'm on my little laptop at home its impossible to see anything. And that page-turny mechanism makes me suicidal. And that weird thing that goes down when you zoom in and the page shifts in the opposite direction makes me want to stomp on a baby's face. I just H-A-T-E the format.
