MARK MCCLUSKY
is the special projects
editor at
Wired
, where
for the past six years he
has covered gadgets,
gear, sports, cooking
and all manner of tech
goodness. While the
Oakland, Calif., resident
loves his electronic toys,
he’s a bit bearish on the
future of cellular—and
is happy to tell you why
in this month’s Tech
column (“Strike Up the
Bandwidth,” page 77).
Striking Gold
JESSE OWENS,
the pathbreaking American
runner, once described the experience of an
Olympian as “a lifetime of training for just
10 seconds.” Likewise, New York Knicks star
Tyson Chandler tells us in the latest
Hemi
Q&A that he too is feeling the heat going into
the Olympic Games, where one misstep can
mean the difference between a gold and a
bronze (or nothing at all). But then, it’s that
wildly disproportionate ratio between prep
and play that makes the games so riveting
to behold. This month we pay tribute to
the London 2012 Olympic Games with a special section filled with profiles,
schedules and trivia (plus a brief explanation of the role Daniel Craig will
play in all this). You’ll also find the aforementioned Chandler interview, a
London edition of Three Perfect Days, a roundup of cool vintage-style sport-
ing gear and, finally, one writer’s full-throated case for why cricket should be
an Olympic sport. Let the games begin!

BRITTANY SHOOT
is a travel and culture

moved to San Francisco
after three years living
in Copenhagen. She
enjoyed brushing up
on her Danish while
learning about artisanal
salt making on the
island of Læsø (“Kiln

and didn’t exactly
mind sampling the
high-priced results
gratis, either.

delighted that shooting
“Three Perfect Days:
London” (page 98)
“took me back home
and to my favorite-ever
location, Brick Lane in
the East End, the world’s
best place for curry!”
