"A history of Silicon Valley failure written in T-Shirts." Much as I'm trying to wear fewer T-Shirts, wow, there's a lot here I'd wear in a flash, and not out of hipster irony. SSI! Sierra On-Line! Infocom! Microprose! Accolade! Brøderbund! Brilliant.

"I thought it was a parking ticket, and was annoyed. But up close, I saw it was just an empty envelope someone put there..." I'll let you click through for the punchline. Delightful, nontheless.

A rather lovely article from Rands, on the way a certain part of society just "is". Accurate, not that judgmental, and quite sweet, really.

Add to cart. No keycaps, built like a tank, $90... I'd take that over and Optimus any day.
