nice things said:
"In this world, there are a lot of people, places, and things. You name it-architecture, movies, social networks, authors-and the list goes on-really, really on. Wouldn't it help to have everything that exists (and even a few things that don't) put into some sort of context? Trust Tomorrow Museum to do just that. A monumental task, yet curator Joanne McNeil's blog essays never fail to go headfirst into the deep end of the pool. For those trying to find the essence, this is essential reading."
