I’ve been neglecting the blog lately — so busy with work, the thing is so insatiable, other et cetera that make me understand why marriages fall apart around the five year mark — but I’m breaking that stupor to tell you about something I’m excited about.
That something is Makeshift magazine, a new publication that’s going to focus on “creativity in unlikely places,” which is to say, most of the places that are endlessly dissected and narrativized and data-collected and analyzed in the blogosphere and your nearest poli sci department.
Here’s from the project’s Kickstarter page:
“Much of our coverage will involve remote emerging markets, but we recognize that creativity is hidden everywhere. We want to place you, our readers, in locations you will likely never get to see and reveal street-level ingenuity you might not expect. We want to show the minutiae of how massive areas function, thrive, and simply survive. We want to reveal the complex inner workings below surface understanding.”
And here is that Kickstarter page. I’m sharing it with you not because they need money — they already met their project goal — but because the project sounds so awesome, and the gifts they offer at different levels are so cool, that you might want to give money anyway.
And if not, don’t worry — as soon as there’s a “subscribe” button, I’ll blog about them again.
Kudos to the Makeshift team for an ingenious idea, and the dedication to pull it off.
