Open Sees

If you're running out of things to read online, there's some good news. Via Jinnet, I see that The Atlantic has torn down its subscribers-only wall. You can now read their current feature pieces, browse back issues, and see a selection of content going back to 1857. (Details)

I was going to give them a shout-out on their site via the cleverly-named "Post and Riposte" feedback section, but opening up the site evidently broke that functionality for the moment. So, this post will have to do.

Good to know. I used to subscribe to the print edition.

Agreed. I used to subscribe, as well. It was always a joy when it arrived in the mail.

This was one of the most interesting articles I remember from that period:

The World in its Extreme

LOL! Yeah. That's me. :)

John:

Glad someone caught my sardonic tone.

Twin:

Thanks for the link. Fascinating stuff.

Beth:

Nice to know you gave up killing trees when it still cost you something. Do you think of this change of mindset by The Atlantic as your reward? You should!
