EDITORIALS - MACADDICT

From mid-2001 until late 2006 I was editor in chief of MacAddict, an enthusiast-level magazine for fans of Apple's Macintosh line of computers. In that role I wrote a monthly editorial; here's a selection, from the geeky product recommendations of Hard-Core Goodies to the political provocations of Digitally Divided.

Oh, and my apologies for plastering my face all over this page, but my modulating mug seemed to be appropriate for thumbnail art. Each image below is the one used above that month's editorial.
