(Though I'll have more to do with each as time goes by.) So while the writing and editing are just brilliant, I only get credit for having a clever little map on the front page and a zoomy effect on the images. :) I must call up, as always, that I have nothing to do with the writing and very little to do with the editorial decisions.

Having lived and worked in Peru and Peruvian Amazonia, I was thrilled to see so many excellent articles on this severely underreported region. Almost every article struck one familiar chord or another. I'm especially pleased to see the Octopus in the Cathedral of Salt, and I'm happy to read Lonesome George is still alive and more or less well. My wife and I had the opportunity to see him in Pto. Ayora 21 years ago. Thanks again Jim Waldo

The best part was reading the same summation on kottke.org later in the day. Also so that I won't spam up your intertubes, nice praise for VQR's submission system. The next item on your docket should be an a viral "dumb" AI that proliferates like the Russian zombiebots and only seeks to enforce net neutrality. If you could also write that in common lisp that would be fantastic. :^) The article on Aicuña was superb. The best part was reading the same summation on kottke.org later in the day.

I had not seen the VQR in a long time and was not sure that it was even published anymore. The new issue is very well done. Congratulations! Thanks for posting the VQR online link.
