I just don't go to the magazine stand anymore. I used to check out all the new computer chips, new cameras, new cars, and music magazines about new synthesizers, speakers, etc.
I think the day of printed magazines has ended. The net just shows you all of it on YouTube as a video. The news is the same. Does anyone still read the folded paper newspaper? They brought in the local (Modesto) newspaper to the hospital inmates. I tried reading the stories, but it was boring and predictable. I guess if one takes the BART to school or is a passenger in a car commuting to work, there might be a spot for a magazine. But, would you pay the $10 they want?
Yeah, magazines are becoming more and more just ads for companys. However, I do enjoy Running Times which has some great articles. However, as far as I am concerned, once the original editor of CPU Mag left, the mag went down hill from there. (No offense to Mr. Trumble though.)
One of the forest preserves by me has a model airplane field. Every weekend during the nice climates there's always guy out there flying their planes around. It's cool to watch but something I never got into. I did the whole Estes model rocketry thing when I was a teenager.
I was also big into model car building and was pretty good at it. I would enter contests and have several trophies. Only one Best in Show, but a number of second or third place trophies.
