Founded in 1991, Plazm is a wonderful Portland-based magazine of culture/art/design. Old-school bOING bOING pal Tiffany Lee Brown (aka Magdalen) is at the core of the Plazm collective. I've known Tiffany for nearly two decades, as she was a vital force in the vibrantly weird-yet-productive early cyberculture scene around Mondo 2000, Fringeware Review, and bOING bOING. Plazm was set to publish its 20th anniversary issue, but then their printing bill suddenly skyrocketed. So they've launched a Kikstarter campaign to take the magazine to print. It looks to be a stellar issue, featuring the likes of David Lynch, Bruce Sterling, Sherry Turkle, Erik Davis, Amber Case, Douglas Rushkoff, and Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney. There are some great rewards based on pledge level. If you're really flush, you can donate $1,1111 (tax deductible) and, among other goodies, you'll receive a scarce print copy of bOING bOING issue #1! (I don't even have one of those!) Good luck, Mag/Tif and Plazm! "Plazm Magazine's 20th Anniversary: print with us!"

    I heard Plazm was going iPad-only, I take it that’s not true?

      Plazm is still doing print, one giant issue a year (or so) rather than quarterly as we once were. We are experimenting with some iPad things. We’ll see how that goes! _Josh
