Wired Magazine's How To...

So by now you might have figured out that I love magazines and am subscribed to quite a few (Vanity Fair, Nylon, and Wired). Yesterday...or the day before...the days are starting to run together now that finals are approaching, but anyways, I got my new Wired with Steve Carrell on the cover. That will be a post for another day - today is about the insert that came with it.

(Aside to magazines: please package more inserts and free stuff with your issues. They do that in Asia and Europe, and they get things like bathing suits and tote bags and I GET JEALOUS!)

This is what I got this time:

Wired: How To ...


Make a Glowstick...Camp with Less Gear...Acquire Crap Online...Unload Crap Online...Decorate Like a Pro...Get a Boost in the Blogsosphere (I think S and I need this one)...Bribe Someone...Say 3 Essential Sentences, Phonetically, In French, Spanish, and Mandarin...


Spice up a Scene...Diffuse a Flash...Add a Lightsaber to Your Movie...Make Old-Timey Photos...Take a Killer Portrait...Get More Out of Flickr...


Arrange Your Action Figures...Dress Like a Professional (Yes, that's Tim Gunn!)...Use Linkedin...Choose Gifts for Office Parties...


And many more pages of fun/interesting, yet random, tips on how to do stuff. What's a bit curious is that on the bottom of the page, where the page numbers are, it's dated AUGUST 2007. Nice job, Wired. Either that's a big fat typo, or they are recycling old stuff and just being lazy about changing the date. I guess I'm not that upset about it though, because it's new to me.

Lastly is one of MANY pictures of my roommate's dog, Bauer, who, though normally a picture-shy little guy, decided that he wanted to be in the shots and proceeded to sit down on top of the magazine. There were a few more of him rolling around on top of it, but those all came out blurry, so here you go.

Inroducing, His Royal Highness (currently sprawled on the floor of my room like he's sun-bathing), Bauer.




Cute, right?
