Wired; is that the extremely liberal, extremely worthless college rag?

"Wired" is one of my favorite magazines. They are not liberal, they like to "think outside the box"...

Ya, but Iridium, it was a major bust. I think more money was lost on that venture than Enron.

I haven't read Wired in years, in fact I heard they were losing so much money they had to shut down. Perhaps they are different now, but back then they were interested in being the "cool" technology magazine. All style over substance.

I am not surprised they would be interested in talking to Ted. They had the same sort of "oh no, technology is ruining the planet" type of mentality as he. They probably want to hire him as a consultant.

I thought they were pretty lame back then. Sounds like they haven't changed much.

That was the point I think the author was trying to make.

It would seem to me to be a hugh joke on 'ol Ted! This letter is so perky and eager to connect with Ted on a subject that must make his little insane head pound. hahahhaa I would love to have seen his face as he read this letter in his prison cell. A stack of Wired in the corner. I liked that first Wired mag. It was very sphomoreish (sp?) and paranoid but fun. Sometimes it was hard to read due to their insistance on low contrast type against neon colored pages. The best article ever was the one by Bruce Sterling on laying comunications cables around the world. Fascinating article.

This is pretty funny, all things considered. Wouldn't this be the equivalent of sending de Haan's Daily Bread to Bill Clinton?

It was Wired that published the classic Julian Simon article which is causing so much grief among Euro-enviro-wackos.

I hear that the Wired typesetters get kickbacks from the eyedrop and headache medicine industries.
