Little Black Book – They need to make one of these for the Kindle. And make it lots more steampunky, please.
Oddly Specific – Very weird signs.
2010: Living in the Future – A 1972 children’s book. I was in the middle of the future school part of it when Firefox crashed and I haven’t tried again yet. Like most vintage futures, it’s mostly way off but there are a few things that are somewhere in the neighborhood of reality.
The Internet 2025 – a nightmare scenario
Offbeat Earth – all kinds of strange stuff
DuckDuckGo – A search engine. I’m not ready to abandon Google yet but I’ll try to remember it in case Google turns too evil.
Rapid Aging in Science Fiction – If you make a sci-fi TV show sooner or later you have to do this. Bonus: There’s a great captioned image related to TV Tropes. That one is for real! Not because it will age you rapidly but because if you go to TV Tropes you could easily be there long enough to die of natural causes.
Star Wars licensed flash drives – Storm troopers should not be cute.
1922 Kodachrome Film Test – early color in motion pictures

Whaddaya know, my Firefox crashed in the middle of reading that future book too! It must be something to do with the theme they are using. Or maybe the cache couldn’t handle anymore hideous 70s-era art.

The little black book cover reminds me-
If you’ve an old ipaq around you can use it as a poor man’s ebook as it generally comes with Microsoft reader built in(and you can find other free s/w for ebook use, still).
My old 3900 model hasn’t wifi but takes a 2GB card which can be filled from Gutenberg or wherever.
