Dear Hyphen Reader,

We're always talking about ourselves over here. (Well, it is our blog). Now it's time for you to tell us about you. We're conducting a reader survey to find out who you are and what you like and don't like about Hyphen. It's all about making it a better magazine for you, so have your say!

And if that's not a lofty enough goal for you, we'll throw in another incentive: you could win a prize. Survey participants who give us their contact info could win a Hyphen t-shirt or a CD by various bands. (Of course, if you don't want to give us your contact info and enter the prize drawing, you don't have to. You can be anonymous if you like.)

The survey originally ran in the print version of Issue 10, so it assumes you have a copy of the magazine. If you've never picked up a print copy of the magazine, you can still take the survey. Just let us know that you don't have a copy of the mag and why.

It only takes a few minutes to answer the questions. So we hope you'll share your thoughts with us.

Love, the all-volunteer staff of Hyphen

Just wanted to share a couple stories in the news lately, before I run away from the office (and by office, just to clarify, I don't mean the Hyphen office. We don't have one of those.)

Reading the papers these days is actually kind of exciting. A woman speaker of the house? Rumsfeld resigning? Democratic control of Congress? We're feeling a little ― dare we say it ― hopeful. Here's an election roundup of a few races Hyphen editors have been following and how they turned out.

Sorry there hasn't been much activity on the Hyphen blog lately. We've been busy reading ballot measures, figuring out how we should vote (we hope you voted yesterday) and for some of us, staying up late covering election results at our day (turned night) jobs. I'm a little relieved to open up the newspaper and see some of the results (like Senator Rick Santorum is on his way out.) Is the tide finally turning?

We've also been busy with making sure the new issue gets out into the world. It's always great when the boxes of magazines arrive and we get to see the finished product for the first time. But that's quickly followed by thoughts of %(#$(!! because it's no fun getting thousands of magazines shipped out all over.
