   Mike that's not that bad of an idea! A tech magazine made for skimming and not in depth reading. It's hard enough for most people to keep up with the tech scene (we're probably exceptions to this rule because of techdirt). I don' think its that bad of an idea

   Mike, I know you were just joking. But I'll just throw out my 2 cents, and say Techdirt the Magazine is a horrible idea. In fact, I'd say most mass-printed material based on time-critical information is a horrible idea. As soon as it's printed, it's worthless. Unless there are some ardent techdirt-readers out there who like to archive old news...

   As if...

   I can't say that I'm terribly surprised. I get a couple of the ZDNet and Infoworld "newsletters" via email and they're constantly three or four days behind. Quite often a story I'll see here or on Slashdot will show up a day or two later through them with a "breaking news/this just in" attitude.
   
   I figure if they can't even get that right, the print versions don't stand a chance. It doesn't help that lead times are MUCH longer for the print world. It's like starting a race after the fastest guy has already crossed the finish line.

   Umm... Okay it's probably a bad idea. Although, I was fooled into the seductive lure of print media (which I still read for in depth reviews). How about a techdirt radio or TV channel?

   Um, well, we're *way* too ugly for TV. :) We'd have to hire actors to play all of us. As for radio... we did have the one episode which kinda sucked. We then had the second episode which was great, but which we deleted in a moment of pure stupidity. Look for it to return sometime soon when we get our act together.

   I think maybe too busy instead of too ugly ;) After all I think the chicks sort of dig me, especially when I start talking about computers and the internet!
