I subscribe to Wired magazine. At only a buck a copy, for a magazine that I will read cover to cover, it’s a real bargain. I re-up my subscription every three years to get the best rate.
Whenever I discover a good article there, I usually pester Erin to read it and then pass it on to a friend. So I was very happy to discover they Wired posts many of their articles online. Now I can pester my dear readers!
Don’t miss this article in the current Wired mag. It’s about a group of underprivileged, undocumented high school students in Arizona who take on the well funded brain trust of MIT in an underwater robot building contest… and win! If you’ve ever worked with kids, you’ll be inspired by this story (Durb!)
Has “movie of the week” written all over it.
Very cool story. Took me awhile to get around to reading all of it. Sort of “October Sky” in the desert, mixed with “Stand and Deliver.”

Or… you could get it for 58 cents a copy!
