McSweeney's Internet Tendency: After a Thorough Battery of Tests We Can Now Recommend "The Newspaper" As the Best e-Reader On the Market.
“Engineers using The Newspaper typically did so 30 to 60 minutes a day. Afterward, they went outside, formed relationships, and took in what life had to offer.

“Things Our Friends Sent Us For Printing”
A 12-page newspaper by Newspaper Club (http://www.newspaperclub.co.uk/)
It was collated over the last few days, features essays by folks like Clay Shirky, Bobbie Johnson and Warren Ellis, as well as visualizations and photos created this weekend.
They printed 1000 this morning on the Austin Statesman Chronicle presses, and distributed them at the Maps, Books, Spimes, Paper panel.
I grabbed a few extra copies, so if any bay area folks want one, let me know.
