Wired the magazine is expanding into Wired the channel. The techno-trend periodical, launched 20 years ago, has three new series that go live today on Wired's video channel and on YouTube:The Window: an inside look at "extraordinary construction projects, factories, labs and landmarks seen through the eyes of people who work there." Angry Nerd: features Wired's Chris Baker and his tech-crazed nerdish rants. Game/Life: Wired video game gurus Chris Kohler, Peter Rubin and Chris Baker talk about games and industry news. More series, like the others sponsored by Microsoft Surface, Windows Phone and Windows 8, are in the works including the outlet's first scripted series Codefellas about the NSA, animated by Richard Linklater Studios and starring John Hodgman (The Daily Show) and ReWired: The Documentary about the magazine's redesign. This is not the first video endeavor for Conde Nast Entertainment. About two months ago, it launched a new video series connected to magazines Glamour, GQ and Vogue.
