As I wandered around Las Vegas for CES 2025, I thought often about those moments I spent when I was younger devouring Skymall and WIRED magazine. So many of the novel things I saw at CES this year were things I’d seen in these magazines 30 years ago.
This, combined with my tiny cool things habit, has led to a small experiment: I’m going to read through some older magazines and share screenshots of the things I find interesting on this Bluesky account.

Why Bluesky? These images are fair use, but in this current era, the DMCA has become weaponized, and I don’t want to get notices about things that I’m personally hosting.
