The presence of a blog may have seemed starkly, even inappropriately, absent from The Issue. Our original thought was to be a faceless stamp of quality, promising relevant and interesting blog content. We have come to realize that separating ourselves from this publication compromises some of the most highly regarded and sought-after aspects of the blogosphere: sincerity and voice. The fact that we can feel a human bond by reading a stranger’s written word makes the blogosphere so special. These unlikely connections, forged by the narrative proximity of blog writing, make an often inhuman internet feel very much alive.

To that end, we want to interact with readers and share what is important to the personalities behind The Issue: both the paramount and the trivial. Enjoy the read and join the discussion.
