The Demolished Man Review
The Demolished Man, Bester. Yes (classic). I was disappointed with some aspects of the work as a whole, but the writing was just fine. I do enjoy reading The Future As Imagined in the Fifties, and this was as charming in its presentation as any.
Can it be traditional if the patent is still good?
Aside from the inherent cool (uninspiring though I find it) of this tiny projector, I’m entertained by the line "Traditional projectors use arrays of millions of mirrors to display footage." I have a hard time thinking of anything that was in prototype within the last decade or so as "traditional."

U.S.!, Bachelder. Yes. It’s possible I’m not bright or attentive enough to have caught everything Mr Bachelder was doing in this meta-polemic, but there was enough on the surface to entertain me and keep me reading, and anything additional he was doing did not distract me.
You knew it was true; now you know why

More Treasures from Brooklyn
Trade Cards! I love these. From the people who brought you the Brooklyn Eagle online and much more.
Krab Log is People!
Just because I really like the sound of (if not the sound of) Future Food Krab Log. I want to see what it looks like and know if we really will be eating it in the future. I imagine a orangey-pink fireplace log sized and shaped item. Which you can slice like baloney.

August Reading
In an effort to be positive this month, “Oooh! Look how much I read despite being easily distracted!”
