January 2008 marked the start of our 12th year on the Web. Hell, we're an institution. (Fitting because we're Bats!) Born in San Diego, DingBat Magazine is the brainchild of Derek Pell, a former contributing editor to National Lampoon (back in the days when it was funny) and the author of many hard to find books.

Our early printed version presented a unique blend of digital art, high tech comedy, and lively, offbeat reviews. Our original mascot was a flake named "Floppy Joe" (anyone remember floppy discs?). Now we're represented by J-bo, Zenny & "Larry the K" (shown above).

Today, Bat's extensive coverage of photo gear, digital video, software, books, and all manner of cool tools makes us the must-read online monthly. Just ask Google and you'll find there's no other publication like us. Call it Bat-magic, or any adjective you desire. That's why millions of visitors GO BATS! every year, and companies like Adobe, Canon, HP, Epson, Fujifilm, Microsoft, and Sony quote from our reviews.

DingBat Magazine may be recognized as "the liveliest review publication on the planet," but that's not saying much. After all, in the grand scheme of things it's a very small planet.
