“In memory, at least, the period between the end of the Cold War and the beginning of the War on Terror feels like a time when things at least more or less worked, and the stakes were so blissfully low that the whole country could just take a year off from even discussing its actual problems and instead listen to politicians and reporters just talk about the President’s sex life.”

sakurina:

Since the title of the blog hasn’t been mentioned since I launched it and chpwn just asked me about it, I might as well clarify where the title of the blog comes from:

In MultiFinder on System 6¹, if you left the About MultiFinder window open for about an hour, eventually messages would start showing up in the about dialog. The messages were “I want my”, “I want my”, “I want my l—k and f—l”.

“l—k and f—l” is “look and feel”. It appeared uncensored (but ROT13-encoded) in earlier builds of MultiFinder. Since I am anal when it comes to user interfaces, and therefore look and feel, I thought it was a fitting name for the blog when I started it. Judging by the posts I’ve made since then, it was the right choice.

1. Yeah, I was born in the System 7 days, but that didn’t stop me from reading my dad’s Mac history books (The Mac Bathroom Reader especially) and from eventually installing System 6.0.8 on my beloved SE/30. More of those old-school easter eggs are up on this page. ↩

I was just wondering about this myself yesterday.

This amazing photo (Film! Unedited! Like the good ole days when I wasn’t alive!) was taken by Spencer when we drove to his cottage with our buddies and his family, only to have very little time at the cottage itself. (via style rookie: “spencer tweedy is a photographical genius” -spencer’s suggestion for this title)
