Back then they truly knew what design meant and it meant going absolutely buck wild. You spin half of this Nikon camera all the way around in order to turn it on. Tech companies in 2024 could never. They don’t have the balls.

They haven't improved much each iteration for about 15-20 years

probably my favourite tech product design-wise. the fact that 23 years later people still keep thinking about it and making modern day prototypes is just mind-blowing to me.

i miss weird phones as much as anybody but honestly i think phones are too much of a solved technology at this point. the touchscreen was the best thing to happen to software and the worst thing to happen to hardware. it also doesn't help that there are fewer manufacturers now and they have more of an incentive than ever to keep making more boring, more expensive designs with higher margins.
at least some of the new folding/bending ones are sort of cool but there's only so far they can go.

You might be 28 but the kids in college are still 20 and through college radio you can pretend that you’re still hip and with the new music. Also sometimes the DJs are clearly high out of their mind and talk about nothing for 7 minutes straight and it rocks. Radio K in Minneapolis is the best and you can listen to it online.

Have you been drinking water? Tired of it tasting like water? Want to drink basically just cold water but a little different? Don’t want a ton of caffeine or too much flavor from iced coffee? Get some unsweetened iced tea. It’s like water but also tea. Little caffeine kick, no sugar, just some liquid.

Taking a picture on your phone is basically an accident. You’re not going to line up the shot and feel pretty good about it and then take a few more to get different angles and then wait a few days to take a good look at them and maybe do some tweaks in some free editing software and feel happy. You’re going to forget you took them and then barely remember when you see their tiny little preview when you’re scrolling through the photos app for a screenshot you saved 5 months ago. Buy a little camera. It feels good to take a picture on purpose. Like painting but fast and you don’t have to clean brushes after.
