Cutting Wired’s Snack issue down to fun-size

Sigh. I suppose I must mention Wired’s “Snack Attack” issue, since it seems on-topic for a block about Smallist. My reluctance stems from Wired’s editorial tone, which has been like a fifteen year crack-fueled manifesto entitled Everything is Awesome. Manifestos exhaust me.

Be that as it may, they do get some decent talent to write for them, and there’s a few great little pieces here:

  • The art of the TV recap, which have gained in complexity since the days of the occasional two-part Golden Girls. Art loves constraints! (More on this in a later post)
  • A chart of the 23 ways — and 403 separate SKU’s — to market a single album.
  • My brother swears by these Target clinics. They’re cheap and effective.
