Good magazines are exercises in serendipity.
Less than six months ago, it was a four-page memorandum and a single Internet naif. To be honest, we are running late on a few things. The good news is that our billing system isn't ready yet. That is far less than the cost of equivalent print magazines, because there's no paper, printing, or postage. We believe that expecting readers to share the cost, as they do in print, is the only way serious journalism on the Web can be self-supporting.
