Awesome!

I thought this was spam at first... but it's definitely not that. At least you contribute to the site as well, instead of shamelessly plugging your magazine in all of your posts.

I really want to love this magazine. The subject matter and the pictures are great, but the writing in some of the columns is just plain bad, especially for something you pay for.
