#42This is fantastic. I wonder what the contemporary equivalent is.
I would like to know what the modern equivalent of this is too. Obviously blogs are there. But it is not for me but my kid. Something that can pique his interest.
Re: Creative Computing Magazine
#43Like Creative Computing, I remember the pleasure I got from Algorithm Magazine, which included pseudocode for fractals, neural nets, cellular automata, and all those things that attracted me to computers. Algorithm Magazine was put out by noted computer scientist and author Alexander Dewdney ( http://www.csd.uwo.ca/faculty/akd/akd.html ). I would gladly scan the few hardcopies I still have (not a complete set though)…
Put them on github or dropbox?

Put them on archive.org? https://archive.org/upload/

I too would like to know of a modern equivalent.
Magazines are able to deliver something that blogs often can't - like pieces of work that have been refined, and then refined again by an editor. Or diverse topics that still fall within a certain discipline.
This is an itch that blogs can't seem to scratch for me.

Does http://creativeapplications.net serve as an equivalent?

Putting them on github would be really cool.

#48Oh Wow! They have Byte, too... https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-rescans
FYI, rescans is a subset of the main Byte collection, https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine.
My email is slapped on the collection page for that one if you notice something mislabeled. If yoy have Byte issues that need scanning for Archive.org, I have contacts for those kind souls as well.

#49Ah, this is one I missed back in the day! It looks interesting, but viewing the PDFs in Foxit, the pages are all black text on dark gray background. Is anyone else getting that? Any known fix? For reference, Byte scans from archive.org display correctly on my system.

Works for me in MuPDF.
