We leave Revue behind for the shiny smile of Substack. EXCLUSIVE Return to Monkey Island content within. (Well, relatively exclusive.)

The Intern Welcomes You to a New Era

(Our CEO was “busy elsewhere” today and left the inaugural welcome post to his underlings. A great leader delegates!)

So: What happened to our last issue? We wrote it. We published it. Revue said it was sent. Then, the next day…

Great job, indeed! Therefore, we’re now using Substack—spread the word!

The Social: Gone, Not Forgotten

Many claim today marks the end of social media. For us, that happened the day Zune Social closed down. RIP Bill Gates’ favorite media player.
