After a bit of a hiatus (OK, a long hiatus), eC zine is gearing up for version number three and is the latest addition to the Surge Bucket Media blog and podcast network (see sidebar).

Version one was good, but is a bit outdated (small scale print ‘zine). Version two was lame and had an awful “sophomore slump” (we won’t even go there). And version three will pull things together and into the blog and podcasting realms. At the moment we’re seeking submissions and will start cranking out new (and recycled) content over the next few weeks.

It’s good to be back!
