Ars editorial staff and contributors are scattered across the US and the UK. It makes us harder to track and capture, and it gives our senior editors lots of places to stay when traveling. One downside, however, is that getting everyone together is a big hullaballoo and when it happens, it's a solemn thing. Like the Knicks winning more than one game in the playoffs.
Today and tomorrow, the editorial staff is convening for two days of meetings and discussion on the state of Ars and what the future holds.
If Ars were MSNBC, we could load the site up with sad tales of everyday Americans getting run down by the system. If we were FOX, we could just find something bad that happened between the Falklands and Medicare Part D, and blame it on Obama. And if we were a mainstream tech site, we could make up an inane rumor or three and coast. Alas, we're not nearly that crafty.
Here's a taste of what we're going to have for you the next two days:
- A few original reports. We'll squeeze some in, promise.
- A big survey, and 3 polls. We're going to run these in advance of meeting topics. Your votes will help us break the awkward silence! Vote!
- Best of Ars: 6 of the best things we've run that we think you should still read, even though they are old (Hey, so is Plato).
- Features: don't miss our review of the new Unity environment in Natty Narwahl, plus a look at what happens when big data meets big storage.
We'll also be tossing in an occasional story from our friends at Wired.com.
We'll be back on Monday with our regularly scheduled programming. And in case you're wondering, the moderation team is still moderating!
