LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: Announcing Our New Blog and New Layout

It’s nice to see you chap/chap-ette. I’m sorry I haven’t taken the time to talk you directly since the beginning of the year; I’ve been very busy in my ivory tower looking at my ivory collection. Need more proof about my elitism? I just used a semi-colon in that last sentence. It’s so very time consuming being high brow here as taking a limo everywhere often adds days to your journey on this campus. (Especially when your professors won’t teach your courses inside of the limo.)  But my publicist insisted that I take a moment to at least roll down my window while driving at a reasonable speed and explain what you are seeing.

 

Anyway dear reader, I suppose a thanks is in order. I don’t often say thank you as saying those words would waste precious time I could be yelling at my chauffeur about taxation rates. For the past five months or so our website has looked little more impressive than a third grader’s online dream journal – devoid of pictures, aesthetics, or anything generally “nice looking.” Let’s not even talk about the mobile site.

 

We creative types are not so handy with technology it turns out, but (hopefully) today that changes for the better (and for the ever.)

 

Oh, what’s that I imagine hearing you say through the time warp continuum (as I am writing this before we transition to the new site)? Did you just notice that little button below the slider which links you to our blog? That’s right you did.

 

For all you young people who like to read “Buzzfeed,” “Clickbuzz,” “Buzzbuzz”  or whatever it is you read to have your optic glands stimulated with moving pictures and large words, we are excited to say we are now capable of doing that too. We understand the taste of our hard-hitting journalism is a little too much for some and that others prefer a mindless stream of colors with minimal “words” interfering. But no longer will you have to venture to the lesser internet to get your daily dose of inane lists, advice, and quizzes which you clearly manipulate to get the answer that you want.

 

Enjoy.
