<div>Hello hello,<br>
<br>
I am pleased to announce the birth of a
new magazine, SMITH (<a href="http://smithmag.us" target="_blank"
onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://smithmag.us</a>),
for your reading
pleasure. A few folks and I have been working on this in fits and
starts for several years now and we are thrilled to launch today,
January
6.<br>
<br>
Why January 6?<br>
To celebrate <a

target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">National
Smith Day</a>,
of course. This day honors Captain John Smith (b. Jan. 6, 1580) and
naturally that early 19th-century explorer Jedediah Smith (b. Jan 6,
1799).<br>
<br>
Why SMITH magazine?<br>
SMITH magazine is about
exploring the personal stories that inform our collective cultural
narrative. Everything from bloggers to the almost famous (both of which
often overlap), from lotto winners to local characters. It's about
framing our personal stories and perspectives so that they resonate in
a larger context. It's about being a uniter, not a divider. Everyone
has a story. And everyone deserves a place to tell it. <br>
<br>
SMITH
is also going to be a lot of fun. We're starting with an online Web
zine, and will be moving into print soon (designed by magazine legend
Robert Priest). A lot of what we do requires reader feedback, and not
lame polls either, but features that are wholly comprised of readers'
stories. So drop on by when you have some time, and share a tasty
anecdote with us. We'll publish it, because that's what we do. <br>
