    Shoes, Shorts, and Summer sans Sneakers and Sandals

    The myth of declining quality

    So - here's my theory: A significant drop in quality of organic raw materials (cotton, leather, possibly wool) has been caused by generations of selective breeding and genetic engineering to increase quantity and reduce production costs. Whenever you optimize for a characteristic, you almost...

    I just reread the Blue Ant trilogy too. In addition to being fun fashion, it is a good snapshot-in-time of the pre-iPhone, pre-3G era. Everyone is constantly logging into open WiFi APs with laptops and using email...
