WOW Magazine
(20 July 2005) - On a 2003 visit, a Mexican designer friend tipped me to WOW magazine. I scoured Mexico City stores to find it and bought out inventories when I did.

According to Ana Mallett,...

Nextfest
(27 June 2005) - I too made it to Nextfest, Wired Magazine's showcase of all things futuristic. Interestingly, the press day was also the education day so it was a great chance to see how kids responded to all the exhibits.
