That pile of trilobite offal known as Seed Magazine has hit newsstands once again, and only a month late. Nothing on the cover indicates whether it’s backing off from bimonthly to quarterly, but either way the world can’t wait long enough for another edition of this over-designed yawnfest to go over like a lead balloon.
Here’s […]

Those nerdy nymphets at Inky Circus up and launched an online magamazine when we weren’t looking. It’s slick and smart and profesh-looking, and y’all should go give them some traffic-love. But something about it still says “beta” to us. To wit, from an article about cognitive psychology:

Dashing, well-connected man-about-town that I am, I caught a Super Secret and Exclusive pre-screening of Alfonso Cuaron’s new sci-fi flick “Children of Men” last night.

Professor Murder has returned after a long and ambitious slog through the frozen, wasted parts of the world, bringing tidings of sheer importance just as “science news” dries up, according to Alexander B.
