Dear Readers,

Welcome to the thirteenth issue of Paradigm, and our first of 2010. True to the unlucky connotations of "thirteen," the Weiss Issue has proven to be our most difficult issue yet. We've had interview subjects cancel at the last second, as well as more technical difficulties than we care to count. It's easy to focus on the negative, though.

Things are actually going very well here at Paradigm. More submissions are coming in than ever before, the quality is as strong (if not stronger) than that of our previous issues and, in many ways, this is the most stripped-down, honest issue we've published since our very first one.

So, until next time, we hope you enjoy this issue as much as we continue looking forward to what each new issue brings.

Cheers,
Paul Fuhr & Matthew Norris
