A plug for a friend…PunkyStyle.com is live. I promised Amy I would set her up with a site where she could document her nasty fashion addiction almost a year ago, and we both kept getting distracted. She finally pushed me to do it, by trying to set up a blogger site on my own, knowing I would be guilt-ed into finally putting it together like I had promised.

ANYWAYS…it’s live. She has a great sense of style, and the basic site is up. More to come soon, including a section to buy clothes from Amy…stay tuned.

If anyone knows anything about the bulk magazine subscription industry, or about the magazine subscription and fulfillment industry in general, please contact me.

I know that overall, magazines make money from advertising, not from subscriptions. That being said, there are ways to get subscriptions for free here and there when certain mags want to boost their circulation. I also know, that it is possible to get cut rate subscriptions if you were to get them in bulk.

Again, if you know anything about this, or companies that may deal in this area, let me know. Sorry this is so vague, just doing some research on something, and figured I would toss this out there…

While reading some of the T&G items posted by Buck over on Volcanoboy regarding the cultural community in Worcester, I came across something that I found sort of funny. Within the third of three T&G articles, there is this:

To start to remedy that situation, Mrs. Bassett has been involved in putting together a Web site to introduce Clark students to the city through an online slide show, www.clarku.edu/interested/. She and faculty members also have developed New England Culture 101, which showcases events in Worcester and nearby though the school’s main Web site, www.clarku.edu/. Additionally, Erin Williams, the city’s cultural development officer, and Mrs. Bassett are organizing a group of students to act as liaisons to the city’s cultural organizations.

Now the funny thing is, that when you hit up the slide show on the Clark website, that is designed to promote Worcester in all of it’s glory, this is the first slide.

In case you can’t see it too well in the screen shot above, the text caption says:

“Take a train from the newly renovated Union Station to Boston.”

Nice. In the slide show promoting the city of Worcester, the very first slide suggests you get on the next train and go to Boston.
