(It's ironic that the guy has put a copyright line on the bottom of each of his pages, though...)

Indescribably delicious link. I will be here for hours. How can you not love Tony's Chili Pot AND Quonset Hut?

Very, very cool. I expected to just click through on a couple of them, but I'm looking at them all. It's neat how so many of the buildings precisely replicate Robert Venturi's definition of architecture as a shed with a sign.

I had a "higher tech" version of this bicycle instrument panel when I was a lad. If I recall correctly there was a "missile launch" button on mine. This site rules. Thanks, crunchland.

His/her other site on early aircraft design is cool too.

Another awesome link from CL (Not Craigslist). I see some new avatars in my future.

Dang, the link times out. Go here and search by # 5,084,915, then select "images."

Jeez, one more time: go here, search # 5,084,915, then select "images." Its still funny, right?

Ok, let's get this right: go here search "utility 5,084,915" then select "images." Preview is inconsistent, and link times out, sorry, this is my last attempt. Not so funny anymore, but I need closure.
