This Is Why People Hate the Phone Company, AT&T →
The more I look at the utility bills and phone bills and cable bills I get, the more clear it is to me, we’d all be better off living in huts. I am so tired of having every person or company I am forced to interact with trying to get one over on me. Doesn’t anyone out there just run an honest business anymore?

How rare is it you read something so kind and without any pretense? Imagine the sense of fulfillment this man must have considering a life so well spent. He could have done anything else in life, committed any crime, any sin, but he saved all those people out of kindness. He must sleep an untroubled sleep. We should all be so lucky.

Lost Shakespeare Play: Found? →
I’d be interested in reading this. I have at one time or another ready all of Shakespeare’s work’s even the lame ones like Merry Wives of Windsor.

Sure they might get a kick out of...

I only had one magazine subscription when I was a kid. I poured over every edition especially the catalog portion. I would lay on the floor by my bed and dream about my own VTOL Aircraft and zooming around town in my own personal jet. It is really a great memory. I know this is a worthwhile archive to access. So go one and embrace your inner geek kid and read about the elevator to space and...
