I spent yesterday afternoon talking with David Reed, publisher of the upcoming Hmmm... e-zine. Mark my words, this e-zine is one to watch.

While new "zine" ventures--both print and electronic--make for notoriously difficult business models, David has what it takes to make it: brains, vision, a can-do attitude, and a lot of friends.

Here's what he has to say about his new "mag":

"Hmmm..." is a sound we make - a sort of magic sound. It is the sound of curiosity waking up, the sound a line makes when it bends into a question mark.

Whenever we hum the sound "hmmm...", we create a space of inquiry. What we don't know becomes more important than what we do know. Our sense of wonder is awakened.

As we begin to explore this wonderful world of the unknown, every day becomes an adventure. Imaginations run wild, creativity is unleashed, and inventions are born.

The premier issue is still being conceived, so to speak, but I'll be sure to announce it when it comes out. So stay tuned!
