Looking "Good" in print

Have you been searching for a new voice in media that "expresses this generation's merger of capitalism and idealsim"?! Well by golly you're in luck. Good magazine, the brain-child of 26 year old millionarie Ben Goldhirsh, just released its first issue.

Though the New York Times has dismissed described the magazine and its mission--to speak to a generation of "critical idealists"--as "New Age meets new money Volunteerism meets the consumerist imperative" and the review from Gawker is a total pan ("The back page is a goddamned project. Because, you know, that's how you fix America: making a bumper sticker about voting."), I think I'll stay on the fence a little while longer. Those of us involved with Our Education would no doubt be described as "idealist do-gooders" too, so I'll call for a little solidarity amongst do-gooders and check out their next few issues. So if you're in to collecting RSS feeds, you might as well get your hands on the Good stuff (sorry, the puns are just too easy).
