Fly... by °Phill 2 months 1 week ago

This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

I never knew that PEZ was short for Pfeffermintz.zomg, I totally played with a Mattel Intellivison... so that's what that thing was.So many memories coming back to me. Realization that people I grew up with had too much crap lying around their house. I heard of, seen, used just about everything on that list. O.o

<!--QuoteBegin--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->4. MOTOROLA STARTAC, 1996Before the StarTAC, cell phones had become fashionable with teenagers and the belt-clip set, but it wasn't until this 3.1-ounce flip phone that people started to see the promise of a handset that could genuinely fit into your pocket. Far smaller than any phone that preceded it, the StarTAC was the ultimate status symbol of the late '90s and perhaps the best example of "geek chic" ever to exist. But most important, the StarTAC ushered in the wave of miniaturized phones, one that's still rolling today. <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Second to that. That was one time the smallest size cellphone! BTW, thanks for the interesting site <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Ah, the good old days... *wishes his friend didn't throw out his atari* what was he thinking... my grandpa still has one of those motorola startac phones, and, amazingly, it still works. lol shows how technology can often outlive the time it was popular.

--- The writer certainly had a sense of humor <!--emo&:D--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> . But the whole space pen deal was pretty funny. A friend had told me that once, but seeing it again was quite funny...---"80. FISHER SPACE PEN, 1967Spurred by the space race, the Fisher company spent years inventing a pen that could write upside down, underwater, and in zero gravity. What did the Russians equip their cosmonauts with? Pencils. Still, Fisher's Space Pen -- in the classic "Chrome Bullet" body developed in 1948 -- is the ultimate portable writing machine. "

About the pen, companies in America were already trying to develop a pen to write upside before NASA ask for a set to take into space. You can buy the pens today, but they are pretty dear.

Yea my friend has one its pritty neat and he got it for free but a normal pen can write upside down for about 2-3 min.(We got really board in Math class and decided to have a contest on whos pen would write upside down the longest)(I lost ^_^;) But it has a little booklet that comes with it and explains how it works.

I had several tamagotchi(s?). XD I still have one laying around somewhere too... It's one of the more recent ones though.

And I remember having a rubiks cube, a lite brite (it was the first Christmas present I remember getting), a pez dispenser, and a magic 8-ball. Good times, good times. ^_^
