My friend Jim Dalrymple (a veteran writer and a real beard) and one man publishing empire has launched The Loop, a new magazine for the iPad and the iPhone. Of course, it has some great Apple related content. But most importantly it is a sign that you don’t need much to create great editorial experience. Jim offers his reasons on why he started the Loop. I am thrilled for him and offer him my support as a customer. Of course, he asked me to write a piece and I went on vacation. Typical, for a magazine writer. But at least I live for another issue. Anyway, if you support independent publishing and want to see good writing flourish, then sign up for the Loop. The first issue if free. [iTunes Store link]
