...right is Canaday, the newest dorm in Harvard Yard, completed in 1974. The architect, Ezra Ehrenkranz, built this dormitory in the shape of a question mark. And right ahead is our Science Center, which I’ve been told, looks like a Polaroid camera from an aerial view.” While these architectural tidbits certainly add some flair to the Yard, they are not the only Harvard buildings with an interesting history.MASSACHUSETTS HALL AND HARVARD HALLBuilt in 1718, Massachusetts Hall is the oldest building still standing at Harvard and the second oldest academic building in the country.

...When Monsters is released in late March, it will be shown in nearly 1,500 movie theaters that have been equipped with a device that fits over a digital movie projector, converting its image to 3-D. Moviegoers will get disposable Polaroid glasses that look like sunglasses, making the 3-D effect far more engaging than it was with the old-fashioned red-cyan anaglyph cardboard glasses of the 1950s and '60s. That said, the Super Bowl commercial (as well as Monday night's episode of the NBC sitcom Chuck) is designed for TV broadcast and requires a setup that...

The band members begin in an overcrowded cardboard box doing “cool” things like reading Borges and taking Polaroid shots of each other. A girl with two long braids (you’ll recognize her as Mel from “Flight of the Conchords”) and a man decked out in tan flannel travel from Tokyo to Paris in another cardboard box. The deliveries of weapons labeled...
...Wiijuries and you smash your plasma TV when the Wiimote slips off your hand. We’ve all lost sight of the real thing.“The magic of instant photos is going digital,” read the opening line of a February 18, 2008 Polaroid press release. The epitaph declared that Polaroid would cease production on their line of instant film and cameras by the end of 2008. The thought of not being able to purchase film for my Polaroid camera in 2009 frightens me, and makes me wonder if anything is sacred. Must...
