Culture: Longshot Magazine: Quick turnover, surprising results

  • Cool stuff in two days or less. Longshot Magazine just celebrated the launch of its second issue (Issue One, after Issue Zero), and it looks pretty sweet. The idea, created entirely by a staff of volunteers over a long weekend (with a little help from their friends, this time in the offices of Good Magazine), is applied publishing – super-experimental, based on a theme, ultra-stressful, but fun and interesting nonetheless. Produced using MagCloud, the mag will set you back a solid $11, but when the concept is this cool, why not splurge? source

U.S.: Neat: Everyone in the U.S. could neatly fit into New Hampshire

  • So, if we all lived somewhere with the density of Brooklyn (which is packed, but comfortable), we could all fit into New Hampshire. How cool is that, kids? Kudos to Shane Keaney, who designed this clever graphic as part of a Good Magazine contest. Sadly, some of the graphics are a little messy compared to Shane’s, which does a great job of explaining a very detailed concept in incredibly simple terms. Great job, dude. If we had money, we’d give you a job blogging for us or something. source
