The Editorial
By David Browne • December 29th, 2007It is the small things in life that really matter. They have this uncanny knack of finding each other and joining together to become an entity of greater magnitude than the sum of their parts. They can be particles of progress or little demons of destruction. In our digital stratosphere electrical minutiae whiz around with an apparent randomness but then, at the snap of our fingers, beautifully construct themselves to form what is an evermore influencing factor in all our lives. We can choose to use this to live in isolation from the outside world or we can use it to become more connected with our fellow minutiae.
This is the first official issue of Op-Ed and, in that same chaotic nature, it seems to have intentionally chose for itself the word “Minutiae”. Our team of internationally based writers have set themselves to the task of illustrating their world through those small everyday details that coalesce and conspire to make our world. So, as you cozy up to your computer ready to enjoy the riches of those bits and bytes of progress spare a thought for us all - the human minutiae. “I am because we are.”
Next issue: licentious
