The journal

Long reads
from people with
splinters.

No listicles and no keyword filler. Specification, compliance, carbon arithmetic and the occasional argument with our own industry — written by the people who grade the loads.

Plain text, up to 2,000 characters.

Every field is checked before it leaves your browser and again on our server — phone numbers against the North American numbering plan, ZIP codes against real USPS ranges. It keeps the bots out and means a real human reads every submission within one business day.

Editorial policy, such as it is

We publish things that cost us money.

The article arguing that Grade B is usually sufficient reduces our average order value. The one explaining where our own carbon arithmetic is weak gives a competitor a quote to use against us. Both are true, so both are up.

If something here is wrong, email us. Three readers have corrected us so far and two of them were right — the pages were changed and the correction noted.
