...about the size of a collegiate dictionary, the Brick is small enough to take home (where it can be plugged into another monitor and keyboard) without transferring files or juggling floppies. Ergo president and Brick designer Tom Spalding, 41, says the machine comes in "boring beige" and in a postmodern granite finish, which he likes a lot better. "We're not a traditional vendor," says Spalding, who previously made millions in hot-tub and stereo- equipment ventures. "It's much more fun doing neat, clever designs...
...time when craft is flourishing, and when the Bauhaus' straight lines have been tied in postmodern knots, Tiffany's plummy palate, iridescent surfaces and flowing shapes are attracting record museum throngs and stratospheric auction prices. "Masterworks" was the most popular exhibit ever at the Smithsonian Institution's Renwick Gallery in Washington; some 225,000 people visited it during its five-month stay.

They are not metaphors anyway, but little black flags of aftermath. An age that is "post"-anything is, by definition, confused and dangerously overextended, like Wile E. Coyote after he has left the cartoon plane of solid rock and freezes in thin air, then tries to tiptoe back along a line of space before gravity notices and takes him down to a little poof! in the canyon far below...
