bOING bOING #11 (San Francisco)

Maybe editor Mark Frauenfelder named the zine bOING bOING 'cause it bounces around from location to location. Firmly entrenched in their fourth year of publishing, bOING bOING has moved from Colorado to several locations in and around Los Angeles and now to San Francisco. The zine's editorial quality never suffered, however, probably due to the vision of Frauenfelder and his co-editor and wife Carla Sinclair. That said, issue #11 is a bit of a jumble in terms of content, the theme (loosely) being "fun and games." You have articles like "Fake Funland (A Trip Through Toys-R-Us)" and "Musers Not Losers!" (a visit to MIT's "Cyberion City") as well as "The Poor Human's Guide To The Internet." There's a lot of info crammed into the pages of this issue, too much to really digest at the time and still illuminating (and somewhat maddening) today.
