• How to pick a new cell phone. Looking for a new verizon phone and this is the first useful website I’ve found.
• The inventor of my favorite phone. I love the old, solid, you can kill a person with it AT&T corded phones (Known as the Model 500). This is the guy who designed them.
• My favorite NYC bookstore is out of business. Was back in NYC recently and was sad to hear Gotham book mart is gone. At least landmarks 2nd avenue deli and shopsins made it back from the dead (Check out the design of shopsins amazing menu – pdf).
• History of the Brannock foot measuring device (you know the one).
• Man flies with jet powered wing. Straight from the sci-fi movies, this 48 year old man built a wing, that looks almost like a kind of jetpack and flies him around at almost 200mph.
