MG reader and friend Max alerts us to Bidoun, a new, Dubai-based magazine of arts and culture. (And by ‘new,’ I mean it’s been around since 2003, and I only found out about it last week.) The summer 2005 issue includes a cool essay about the name ‘Mohammed’ having entered the list of the top 20 most popular boys’ names in the U.K., several articles on architecture, and two book reviews, but those are not available online, unfortunately.
