In 2014, the Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl. Fans had gathered on opposite sides of the street and like good citizens waited for the Walk sign before charging across the street. Then they repeated the process over again multiple times.

Did you own a beeper? I dove into the history of the telephone pager, a technology that is older than you might think. It changed the way we kept in touch and would lead to the smartphone you carry around in your pocket today.

The Rubik’s Cube 4th Dimension was a normal 3x3 cube, but some center squares had logos that had to be upright, so solving the colors was not enough.

With the rise of cable TV came something unexpected, the superstation. These were local stations that used new technology to reach far beyond their home markets. Some lasted for decades and produced some of the most interesting programming on early cable.

I like the dissatisfied kid giving the dirty look at the door to the Burger King. Exactly how I usually felt when leaving work at the fast food job I had when younger.
