You Can't Miss: Cool stuff and random thoughts

I've mentioned Anorak before. It is a lovely magazine for children. This week I can across an interview with Cathy Olmedillas, the editor and founder of the magazine, on stackmagazines.com. The interview goes into how the magazine came to be,  advertisements within the independent magazine and even how the magazine had taken advantage of new technology (hint: iPhone and iPad). Olmedillas talked about how the new technology is great to boost the magazine's presence in the US  and Australia (Anorak is a UK magazine), but even though digital versions of the magazine will be available, she is certain that the print version will never go away. There is too much of a physical experience for them to ever go away. Check out the interview here. Also, in the article, the writer mentioned a couple places that Anorak had already been featured. One spot is Gwynneth Paltrow's newsletter GOOP (which you should also check out because she writes about some cool stuff, plus had come neat navigation icons). 

p.s. I baked cookies this afternoon, I have a theory: women had stronger arms before technology came along ... using a wooden spoon to mix batter is just as good of a work out, if not better, than lifting weights.
