Thank you and welcome

Changes ahead

Over the next few weeks we will be easing into some changes on theRubicon. You will notice these initially in connection with our weekly bloggers.

For the past year or so you have been able to catch Doubletake (Stephanie Hung, Australia) on Saturdays, Ragamuffin (Jay Davis, US) on Mondays, Deeper Shade of Grey (Gordon Cotterill, UK) on Wednesdays and Vox Populi (Rick Zelinsky, Canada) on Fridays.

We want to say a huge thank you to Rick and Jay. Coming up with interesting, provocative and challenging pieces on a weekly basis is a lot of work and their other work (the day-job) is becoming ever more demanding so they’ve decided to step back from weekly blogging.

While Stephanie is retiring the Doubletake column she will be sticking around. She has relocated from Australia to Canada and will now be writing book reviews for theRubicon which will appear once or twice a month. If you have any suggestions for books that you would like to see reviewed, please send in your ideas (otherwise, we’ll continue to pick books that we find interesting!).

Starting on Saturday we are expanding our roster of bloggers. In addition to Gordon Cotterill, who will continue writing Shades of Grey, theRubicon will be joined by Danielle Strickland, Australia (JustThinking), Eric Himes, US (Future Army Dictionary aka FAD), Dion Oxford, Canada (The Concise Oxford) and Vadim Hurin, Eastern Europe (From Russia with Blogs).

Our bloggers will appear on Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday but over a two week period, which means you will have to check out theRubicon every day in order to see who is going to pop up!

Design and format changes are also in the works as we move theRubicon to become a global SA portal.

So… stay tuned as we up the ante on theRubicon.
