Worthwhile Canadian initiative finally falters: Alas, Shift Magazine appears to have published its final issue. Conspiracy theorists will note this happens only five months after naming this site one of the 75 “cultural movers and shakers in the digital era.” The meaning is clear: Write about this site at your peril!
I hope this doesn’t mean Saturday Night, a former crabwalk.com favorite published by the same company as Shift, is also on thin ice.

One of my good friends is an editor at Saturday Night. I'm seeing her later for a launch party for their "Swimsuit Issue" so I'll talk to her about Shift and Saturday Night and let you know the prognosis.

I hope that doesn't mean my site and BlogCritics, where I post reviews of your discs are going to fail at some point...... that would hella-suck!

Shift was the best value for money ever. For $11.95 you got two years of Shifty goodness. My eyes are misty!
