It occurred to me that I might be of some use if I pointed out what I thought was a good read. That way, if you are not inclined to become a childless reading addict like I am, you can still catch the best science stories of the day or week.

Keep in mind that this is a work in progress. And even though its based in Pittsburgh, I’ll be writing and recommending stories that I find to be of both broad and personal interest. Think of me as a personal story editor, with a curiosity about science and the internet.

Initially, we will probably be a weekly. I hope to advance the magazine to a daily.

But I'll need some help on the writing side. There will also be more product reviews and book reviews.                                                               Give us some time.

So email me at pshropshire@hotmail.com. Or pshropshire@yahoo.com. Or even phil.shropshire@ponycomputer.com.
