In 1999, three aging Gen X-ers decided after ingesting mass quantities of caffeine and sugar that they would start a magazine. The X’s in question were Francine Medina, assistant lifestyle editor, Roby Alampay, investigative reporter, and myself, a columnist. We had all been working at Today (now extinct) newspaper for five years, and we needed new territory to map out.
Now every journalist wants to start a magazine, even if pundits have long declared that “Print is dead.” We all knew what sort of publication we wanted. Roby wanted a magazine that would do in-depth reports on current social and political affairs. Francine wanted a showcase for independent new artists, photographers, and designers. I wanted something good to read. We agreed that our ideas could coexist in a single magazine. . .

A bit unexpected, but definitely a pleasant surprise. Quite a fan of the mag, myself.

Oy Budjette. I was just writing an article about gadgets, and I remembered an email exchange we had in the 90s.
You: Hey have you tried Google?
Me: Uhh, a number with 100 zeroes?

yes, that was a long time ago… when people still used Yahoo! and HotBot and AltaVista for their searches.
