Mad about the '60s
Today's cellphone does the same job with a beep, but it can't equal the bed-stand flair of a retro-looking alarm with a black or red, metal or plastic case on legs -- sometimes, a pedestal. Today, the style is called midcentury modern. Wall ...

Never, never begin a story this way when you write one. The gentleman who announced that the world was an oyster which he with his sword would open made a larger hit than he deserved. It is not difficult to open an oyster with a sword. But did you ever notice any one try to open the terrestrial bivalve with a typewriter. Like to wait for a dozen raw opened that way. Sarah had managed to pry apart the shells with her unhandy weapon far enough to nibble a wee bit at the cold and clammy world within. She knew no more shorthand than if she had been a graduate in stenography just let slip upon the world by a business college. So, not being able to stenog, she could not enter that bright galaxy of office talent. The most brilliant and crowning feat of Sarah’s battle with the world was the deal she made with Schulenberg’s Home Restaurant. The restaurant was next door to the old red brick in which she hall-roomed. One evening after dining at Schulenberg’s 40-cent, five-course table d’hôte (served as fast as you throw the five baseballs at the coloured.
Opulent clock towers, grand halls, building facades covered in splendour and stone. Looking at town halls of the past - from Victorian Britain to modern functionalism - there is a palpable sense of pomp and authority. The town hall of the future, amid myriad administrative and cultural functions and a digital culture where citizens are organising themselves in new ways, is a concept far less easily set in stone. The bicycle hasn't changed much since the 1890s: Today's version has the same basic diamond shape and the same configuration of parts that it's had for over 100 years. At one point, an entire patent office—out of two that existed in the U. S. —was devoted entirely to inventions for bicycles. After experiments with different shapes and styles of bikes, like velocipedes with giant front wheels, designers finally landed on consensus with the basic design we know today. "The real reason bikes seem so similar today to bikes of yesteryear is because they nailed the design back then," says Jim Langley, a former technical editor for Bicycling Magazine.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Jimbo
he first time I saw a Keurig coffee maker, I thought it was among the stupidest products I had ever seen. When I realized the thing didn't even have a coffee pot component, I was completely dumbfounded -- who in their right mind would even want some sort of device that only spat out a Lilliputian, single-cup load anyway. Every post-post-modern office space and neo-neo-yuppie kitchen in the nation has at least one of the units installed, leading other traditional coffee maker manufacturers to abandon their time-tested brewers in favor of similar, single-serve,... Ever the Luddite, I was opposed to making the leap from my tried-and-true Folgers-in-a-napkin breakfast for quite some time. Today's high-tech, all-in-wonder devices may be spectacular consumer goods, but I still prefer a simplistic, uni-functional approach to product design. I want a toaster that makes toast and a microwave that makes things hot through radioactive technologies that I'm still not 100 percent sure I grasp -- put a clock or a radio or some Internet functionality in that sumbitch and it frustrates me to... With that in mind, the coffee maker is sort of like the cockroach of kitchen grade appliances.
