Nice Cube
Looking back today, it seems that the Cube was simply ahead of its time. It was an ingenious and striking design that missed the mark by about five years—and $1,000. But don’t tell that to the loyal Cube owners out there, from whom you couldn’t pry their Cubes from their cold, dead hands. The G4 Cube’s enduring appeal from Mac fans is a testament to its unique and visionary design that has yet to be duplicated—even in the Mac mini—to this day.

Open Your Present, the Future's Inside
io9 links to the Paleo-Future site this week. The recent trend among old dudes and dudettes toward bitching about their denied promised future (flying cars, robots, you know – the stuff we don’t have) has left me cold given the fact that we live in the freakin’ future (at dinner last night I kept myself company with Wired Magazine and A State Within on this before paying for dinner with old-school plastic). Paleo–Future chronicles human endeavor’s big what-ifs in a terrific collection of ongoing articles and images. Most of them rocket me right back to a small neighborhood in Indiana when anything was possible.
