It is all on the internet. I do frequent the Wired.com site, so purchasing a Wired subscription might not have been THAT important, but I also wish to have some stuff published in magazines in the future. (Also, it was only a dollar an issue.) If that is ever going to happen, I must familiarize myself with the magazines I wish to write for. Yes, all the content is online, but, then again, you can't blog 24/7. You have to read and take in information if you want to become a successful blogger. This is particularly true of the tech industry. I'm considering subscribing to <em>PC World</em> and <em>PC Magazine</em> as well. Just a question of balancing it all out. Great point.

The exception is Wired magazine which I did subscribe to because their writers are awesome and it was only 1$ an issue. I've come to find out though that all the stuff in the magazine is posted on their website and associated blogs. I'm having a hard time reading any printed material because I feel like I could be blogging during that time.

I love the feel of the pages, the act of turning the page, the ability to completely become engrossed in nothing but what I read. I tried reading e-books, but the appeal isn't there, and I have no patience for the magazine's website like Wired.com. When I read a magazine the pages don't change, if I read an article and want to go back most of the time I remember the issue and even what side the article is on, if I try to find the same article on the website so I can link to something it is a bitch to find. lol I've had a love affair with paper all my life and as much as I like the internet Magazines better not go away :'( Wired Popular Science Anime Insider I read my dad's VFW magazine b/c it is pretty awesome, but I wish they would get new, more interesting writers >_< every once in a while when I have the money I buy Photoshop, photography magazines, and Mac magazines are interesting too :O... *I love reading* lol did you know that there is a magazine for FACEBOOK :O..and a couple of different ones for hackers which cracks me up...and probably if you looked real hard there's one for everything.

I agree about seeing the whole picture. I also like to be able to lay down in bed and read a magazine right before I go to bed. It helps me get away from the computer and sleep faster. Thanks for the comment. Sounds like a nice set of reading material. I agree about seeing the whole picture. I also like to be able to lay down in bed and read a magazine right before I go to bed.

I recently subscribed to three magazines last month: <em>Wired</em>, <em>Popular Science</em>, and <em>Popular Mechanics</em>. I'm also currently a subscriber to <em>Sports Illustrated</em>. All of the content could easily be found online for free, but I do so anyways. When I'm able to sit down—away from the computer—and read, I find that a lot of ideas come to mind for new articles. I've never seen a magazine for bloggers (and doubt we ever will see one soon), but that would be an interesting read. I believe Jeff is still subscribed to <em>Wired</em>. Anyways, if you subscribe to magazines, let us know what they are! What do you subscribe to?
