I love this picture on so many levels.

For starters, the amount of care that the artist made in getting the machines and other computing paraphernalia correct.

But also because it encapsulates the promise that computers had in the 1970s. The sheer optimism that computers could really change the world in a positive way.

I still think they can. I refuse to believe that we've corrupted computing beyond that optimistic phase.

We spent 12 days arguing over logos until we settled upon this abomination and when it was all said and done we spent the next four hours arguing over the shade of green

Apparently the USPS is now using Informed Delivery to do marketing campaigns.

Seriously, this is beyond the pale.
