The Death and Life of Great American GeoCities
At first glance, the blog Animated Text, with its neatly stacked rows of glittering, undulating, pixelated, neon-hued catchphrases, looks like a relic of the ’90s, an untouched time capsule from last-generation social sites like GeoCities. Cat Frazier, the 23-year-old graphic designer who runs it, calls the site a “guilty pleasure” that offers a giddy reprieve from her day job, designing for corporate clients and, therefore, working in the visual language of the present.

The enduring, cult appeal of 'Magic: the Gathering'
'Magic' is dizzyingly complicated, extremely technical, and—to the layman—completely incomprehensible. The year is 1998, and I am 9. After weeks of self-conscious indecision, I have at last worked up the courage to tell Mike—my father, a real adult who knows the value of money and games involving exercise and teamwork—what Magic: the Gathering is, and why I want to play it. “Will and Rob and Brian all do,” I explain, a nervous welter of sweatpants and sweat.

The Peel P50 is the world's smallest (and cutest) electric car.
Back in the 1960s, the Peel P50 and Trident were the smallest production cars in the world. Fast forward to today and they're back with an electric motor. With a three horsepower electric motor, neither the Peel P50 or Trident will be able to zoom past a Tesla Model S, but the vehicles’ 15-mile range and compact exteriors makes them perfect for dense cities like San Francisco or New York. Both models are street legal in the UK and US, but they aren’t cheap – with pricing starting at £12,999 ($21,575 US).
