R.I.P. Arena

It’s a sad day when your husorgan (great Swedish word that deserves to become the next smörgåsbord) folds. The British magazine Arena (www.arenamagazine.co.uk) will put out its last issue next week, ending a glorious tradition of amazing writing.

I will remember Justin Quirk’s gruelling Spartan workout with the trainer who whipped actors in shape for the film 300, and the “Britain under the Taliban” article. Exceptional stuff.

Guess I’ll have to read Wired now.
