I think that's true about programming magazines in general, and its been that way for a few years. After the death (or retargeting) of most of the code magazines, I wrote for small newsletters for a few years. Now, I don't even know what's out there.

I think online groups like this one has taken the place of those magazines as the primary source of study and inspiration.

So it's our own fault that there's no money in writing anymore <g>
