Crap or treasure? Yes it is.
I not sure why I didn’t point to this earlier, but Dan over at Superfluous Banter recently launched The Old Technology Giveaway. If you know me even vaguely, you’ll probably recognize this as an unavoidable opportunity driving right up my alley and screeching to a halt in front of the garage. Ancient technological curios?

Hippy dippy hard disk drivers.
In my ongoing (and somewhat laughable, according to my wife) attempt to catalogue every single, freaking piece of hardware and software I’ve managed to collect over the past twenty years, I occasionally stumble across some simply glorious nuggets. This evening, I verified ownership of several floppies worth of classic driver and utility software from the … More

Click close.
I just had to share this with someone. It doesn’t matter whether you are already registered on the Photonica site or not. Simply put, if you’re not signed in, you’re presented with this confusing lump of interface nonsense. Please tell me why registered users should have to navigate past this singular piece of idiocy?

Tour of hype.
On a whim, you decide to publish a page on your site featuring a plethora of disturbingly similar logos accompanied by a few snarky comments, and before you know it, you get quoted in an article on TheStreet.com about another brand design atrocity. I promise not to let the fame go to my head.
