Aaron Mahnke:

To that end, the April edition of the Read & Trust Magazine is the last issue we publish for the foreseeable future. The group itself is still alive and thriving, and we have lots of great ideas in the works for the coming year. Right now, though, my energy is required elsewhere, so for the moment all regular publications will be put on hold.

When in Atlanta last month together, Aaron and I discussed this at great length. Props to Aaron for seeing that and doing the hardest thing when it comes to projects: saying goodbye when the time is right.

As I wrote about in March, my family and I are headed to Florida for a week at Disney and Give Kids the World, thanks to Make a Wish.

While I’m gone, Shawn Blanc and Myke Hurley will be filling in for me on the site.

I owe a big thanks to those two guys for keeping the lights on, and to all of you wonderful readers for supporting me over the years, but for now, I’m turning my phone off and am going to spend a week in the sun with my wife and kids.

My friend and podcast co-host Myke Hurley:

As the network continues to grow, our ambitions grow with it. Our hosts put out shows that deserve a larger audience, and my dream of a career in podcasting is within reach. To get to the next level, we need help. We need a better infrastructure and even more great people to support the network we have created. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that 70Decibels is going to be moving to the 5by5 Podcasting Network.

I was excited to be able to write for Randy Murray’s site, and took the chance to write about writing reviews. Meta, perhaps, but it was a lot of fun. First Today, Then Tomorrow is a great site. If you’re a writer, this should be in your RSS collection.

In July, I launched System Extension, a magazine-like counterpart to 512 Pixels. It’s been a moderate success, but as this is the week for such news, I’m announcing today that I’m putting the project on ice.

It’s been a lot of fun covering oddball stuff for the magazine, but everyone is better served to have that content on the site itself. (In fact, my Pippin article was slated to be in this month’s edition.

The October 2012 edition of System Extension is here.

This month, I walk though how I capture things throughout my workday. My methods might be a little more old-fashioned than you would guess.

We also take a look at one of the most rare (and weirdest) Macs ever built — the 20th Anniversary Macintosh. The all-in-one machine is strangely beautiful, but super bonkers at the same time. I think you’ll enjoy learning some more about it.
