web watch 2006 - man posts late-issue blog
An Edmonton man is no longer member of the Internet Conservation Society.
In his bid to be information-ecology friendly, Peter Schoenberg held out creating a web presence until he really had something important to say.
The issue that drove him to finally create a blog? The slow delivery of Sports Illustrated magazine.
Seems Mr. Schoenberg had it up to the eyeballs seeing new issues of the magazine appear on the stands while his postal-subscription copy was making its way through the waters of Tierra del Fuego on its three-week journey to his mailbox.
Mr. Schoenberg did whatever any reasonable man would do and that was start a blog. See how he's making out at Slow Illustrated. He would love to hear from other Slow Illustrated sufferers.
Update: Mr. Schoenberg has now added to his blog reflections on the gas mileage he's getting out of his new Toyota Prius hybrid car.
The economy of the car has no doubt offset the price of driving to his local drugstore to buy newsstand copies of his favourite magazine instead of waiting for them to arrive in the mail.
