Do you subscribe to any magazines?
 
For Christmas, I couldn't think of much, so I asked someone for a year subscription to The New Yorker. I also get Foreign Affairs, but I'm probably not going to renew that because I don't have as much time to read that anymore or papers/classes to use the articles for.

Most magazine content is free online, or similar information is, so I think magazine subscriptions are done, but maybe people still prefer the glossy paper feel in their hands and continue the old fashioned way.

I have a subscription to Rolling Stone that I didn't order or want. It just started showing up one day. I don't read it and I can't stand it's leftist crap content, so I just take them to the gym and donate them for the little waiting area.

Nothing beats a Campmor catalog for bathroom material.

No, other than the free professional magazines I get at work. The content of those are also on the internet.

I wonder how long it will be until printed material is no longer available?

Not so much a subscription as a perk for paying my Knights of Columbus yearly dues is a copy of "Columbia" magazine designed and written for the members

I get that too. We also get Highlights for the kids. I used to get a baseball periodical called the EFQ Review but the guy stopped publishing it

Why not do like Jenson and just look that stuff up on the internet?

Car Craft, APRA's Global Connection, and Inbound Logistics.

The first, I want.

The second, I don't need, but they continue to send. Though I'm not in the auto parts reman business, I appreciate the automotive technical write ups, for learning purposes. I do most of my own automotive work.

Don't know why I get the last one; they call, asking me to renew, and I tell them "No thanks," and the dead trees keep coming. Freight handling now has the glorious euphemism: logistics. I have only one definition of fulfillment, not warranting public discussion.

Is jenson trying to be Rain Man?

I clicked the wrong response on your poll jensen, if you're actually keeping some kind of score for something.

Rain Man 01-14-2011 10:21 AM

We get National Geographic and Smithsonian, both of which I greatly enjoy. My wife gets a couple of fashion magazines as well that I don't look at unless I see some nudity on the cover.

Once he lifts the veil on that secret horror, he'll go back to being jenson pretty quick.
