Thingummery reads some more


This week's links for vintage hoarders and estate-sale stalkers...

Somebody please buy this amazing Frank Lloyd Wright by tomorrow or it's going to be bulldozed! Damn you, Arizona!

A history of Seventeen magazine—lots of eye candy.

Wasn't I ragging on CDs just yesterday? Well, it turns out that this week marks the 30th anniversary of the not quite obsolete technology.

An accounting of Brooke Astor's estate sale at Sotheby's—oddly, I didn't see much that I wanted.
