Looking for Issue 29?

...on the Surface Texture naming convention

Jul 20, 2020

Thanks for checking out the archive of past issues!

You probably noticed the last available issue of Surface Texture is Issue 30, and may be wondering where to find Issue 29 and older. Issue 30 was the first ever issue of Surface Texture, so you’re all caught up!

…but why doesn’t Surface Texture start at Issue 01? We started Surface Texture with the intention of releasing an issue every Tuesday for a total of 52 issues every year. Since each issue is focused on delivering commentary on hardware products at a moment in time, every issue number correlates with the week number. So our first issue, Issue 30, was sent out in “Week 30” of 2020.

It might seem odd with only a few issues released, but the hope is that the naming convention will make referencing the archive of issues easier in the future. When the next year roles around, we’ll start with Issue 01 and prepend “2020” to all issues from the previous year.
