Getting Wired.

So for the past few months, I've been receiving copies of Wired magazine in my mailbox every few weeks. I didn't understand it though. I never subscribed to Wired. In fact, despite working in interactive marketing, the idea of reading or getting this magazine never occurred to me. Then, this week, I was reading through one of my recent copies about how to hack your iPod; and I thought, "Wow. This magazine is USEFUL."

So I determined that even though I didn't recall subscribing to it, I was happy that I was getting it.

Then, just now, I was online at my Media Bistro home page updating my account. I happened upon this section I had never noticed before called "Member Benefits." I clicked on it and discovered that just by being a member of Media Bistro, I was entitled to some cool stuff... Including:

• A year membership to Wired magazine.
• Rental car discounts to Avis and Hertz.
• A 5% discount on all Barnes and Noble purchases.
• A PR News free trial subscription.
• A free trial subscription to The New Republic's digital version.
• Health insurance discounts.
• Yoga discounts... and more...

I need to start looking into some of these benefits a little more. Sweet! I should really consider going freelance full-time. Then I might actually have time to enjoy these benefits.
