For quite a few years, every time McGraw-Hill discontinued a magazine, my
subscription would be converted to Byte, much like Ziff-Davis and Creative
Computing back in the mid 80s. About the only thing I'd consistently read
was Pournelle's column, not so much for the computer info but for the fact
that sometimes there's news from home. Nowadays, his column is available
at byte's web site and at long last the Byte subscription ran out of
cannibalistic extensions.

In case you hadn't noticed it, Ciarcia for some years now has had his own
magazine, Circuit Cellar Ink. It's easy to miss, since few stores seem to
carry it. <http://www.circellar.com/>
