I would suggest getting a new, non-computer hobby and getting tuned in with the magazines (if any) and blogs that cover the topic.

That'd at least be more focused. Mens mags might be a bit diffuse. And it's possible that, by the time something shows up in Maxim, it's already kinda old hat.

Finally, if something shows up in Maxim, it might be because of a well-funded PR campaign, not because of genuine grassroots interest.
