First 48 Hours Over
48 Hour Magazine, a self-described “raucous experiment in using new tools to erase media’s old limits,” is shipping out their first issue today. The theme for Issue Zero, “Hustle,” was unveiled Friday and contributors hustled to get their submissions in within 24 hours, while the creators spent the next 24 hours editing and designing away.

Gear Up For Bike to Work Day

Plus, commuter convoys start rolling out on Tuesday, so you’ll have some friends to help you get back in shape.
