Wired Magazine has been my favorite magazine for some time. They are always cutting edge with a wide view of how technology affects our lives. Not just a computer rag, Wired includes articles on culture, music, gadgets, people, business and on and on. They also include great reviews of books, games, movies and music. Here are some of their latest picks:
Books

  • Watson and DNA: Making a Scientific Revolution
  • A Shortcut Through Time: The Path to a Quantum Computer
    Games
  • The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
  • Dark Cloud 2
    More GameCube Titles / PlayStation2
    Music

  • Fast Asleep by Funki Porcini
    Movies
  • Gigantor - Boxed Set 1 / Gigantor - Boxed Set 2
  • Signs

    Kid Stuff
    Baby Einstein Library, actually, these are "video board books"; a clever spin off of the Mozart effect, these videos combine wonderful images for baby to watch with music and even foreign language to stimulate their minds! Really very wonderful.
