    You might get a kick out of something I noticed today while re-reading an old magazine.

    Spy, January 1990:

    Important magazine editors aren't like you and me - they require special cosseting, like a rare orchid or endangered species of water buffalo, and they demand devotion no matter how objectionably they behave. Conde Nast, a corporation that knows how to treat its workers right (waiting until they are on vacation, for example, to fire them)...

    And the rest of it doesn't matter, really. I just thought you'd like to see that. #chrisanderson

    @raincoaster: God, and I thought I was the only one who kept copies of Spy around in a personal Museum of Snark. (Visit our gift shop and pick up ironic postcards, Joe Franklin videos you can snicker at, and Chevy Chase action figures.)

    Obviously, Si should book Anderson to give a lecture to the Wired staff. Then he would show up. #chrisanderson

    I hear Anderson offered to let Ted Greenwald keep his job at Wired if he would be willing to work for the totally radical price of the future. #chrisanderson

    Chris Anderson is a repellent and pretentious pseuedointellectual twat.

    I hope he chokes on his own hot air.

    @EatMyKant: Let's deconstruct:

    He shows little/no loyalty to publication or fellow employees.

    Uses the publication to promote his own career.

    Plagiarizes large chunks of his book.

    Repeatedly invokes his kids when busted for cutting and pasting from Wikipedia.

    Survives a scathing New Yorker review by an actual smart guy, Gladwell.

    How does he get away with it? Why it's the haircut! His tonsorial sense just screams technological credibility to those who want to be technologically credible.

    So be warned, question Anderson and you question the haircut!

    I hope advertisers are happy when their ads share space with the incredible writing of Andrew Belonsky alongside advertisers claiming "Obama wants Moms to go back to school."

    Magazines, a beautiful medium we'll all miss much too late. #condenast

    The headline keeps making me think of what would be some unhappy holiday special: A Day of Reckoning on Walton's Mountain, with Will Geer as Si Walton and Richard Thomas as David Remnick Walton. ("Good night, Anna." "Good night, Dave-Boy.") #condenast

    In reply to Unwiring Wired
    I read Wired cover to cover (even the tinsy tiny print) and love it. I never go to the website. My 20 yr. old son reads Wired exclusively on the web. Even though I don't go to the website, I expect there to be a website that's even better than the magazine. After all, this is WIRED! Just knowing that there's a killer website available makes reading the magazine a better experience. It's a huge mistake for Conde Nast to think, for one second, that they could skimp on editors/writers/artists for the website.
