So I guess I haven't been charged. I don't know if I'll try again though. I wish you better luck than mine. @Kostis

I just got a letter (yes, real letter) from Wired explaining that they had difficulties charging my credit card so that’s why they’ve not sent any issues yet.

So I guess I haven’t been charged. I don’t know if I’ll try again though.

I wish you better luck than mine.

I just say that I can find all the theory I want in the relevant books. I want my magazines more practical and inspiring. @adamo

You missed my point – it’s not that I dismiss theoretical background in design, God no!

I just say that I can find all the theory I want in the relevant books. I want my magazines more practical and inspiring.

In the case of design, I also believe that an interdisciplinary approach is valid. I would take an architects advice and try to use it on my field. But on the other hand I am hardly the person to consult on (user) interface issues. So you may dismiss the suggestion all together. @sugarenia:

I want real-life examples and reduxes and the healthy dose of inspiration, only monthly. Can I? Thanks for the welie.com link though, highly appreciated. @adamo

OK, most probably the suggestion will not be a web related one, but the core concept is: ideas. Afterall, even the (web) design patterns were based on an architect's <a href="http://www.patternlanguage.com" rel="nofollow">work</a>. Just read the Welie's <a href="http://www.welie.com/papers/Welie-Interact2003.pdf" rel="nofollow">paper</a> from http://www.welie.com @Kostis: Wired is not what it used to be.

I don’t think it ever will. At least, that’s what happens in Crete. Maybe you’ll have more luck than me.
