I must admit I'm a little bothered by recent issues as well.  I used to look
forward to each issue of DDJ; now, I'm not so sure.  I didn't find anything
useful in the present issue (compared to past issues), and I had been
anxiously awaiting that to make up for the September issue!

However, I've noticed a trend with DDJ... they keep changing the editing
around, adjusting their writers, etc.  I hope they're not done, because I
don't think they've hit on the right combination yet.  Or the current
combination just hasn't learned what to give ME.  Heh.
