...maybe craftsmanship has a high-tech future after all. To connect the de Young visually to its setting in Golden Gate Park, the architects have wrapped the structure in a copper skin embossed and perforated to produce, from a distance, the appearance of dappled sunlight filtering through trees. That pattern was copied from the blurred pixels of a digital photograph, then converted by computer into a blueprint to guide the manufacture of holes and indentations on thousands of individual copper plates...
...Richard Simmons and just as partial to spandex, could turn around and top it. The band is proud of its bad jokes, virtuoso guitar playing and the epic British shriek of singer Justin Hawkins, and with songs like Bald, the greatest track ever written about the scourge of male pattern baldness, it deserves...

This was quite the feat, really, considering neither cars nor Coors were allowed on campus. After this clear pattern of suspect attachment followed by sudden abandonment, you’d think for sure I would wise up before college. Hard-working was the new black. It was so clearly the inside that counted. Prim boys were in. But there has remained something undeniably attractive about the wrong side...
