i loved the article about zines .vs. blogs. im gettting ready to do a presentation on blogging and zine-making in front of some education grad students and im going to use this article as an example of how the two are different. i love them both now for different reasons, but my roots are in zines for sure. i got into zines back in the early 90's in the punk scene in alaska, and have tried to carry the torch as best i can. KEEP ON ZINEING!!!!
