Button Pusher

Fimoculous compiled a lot of neat diversions for his Best Blogs of 2006 that You (Maybe) Aren't Reading list. One choice that especially stood out for me was History of the Button, a weblog entirely devoted to push buttons (yep). It’s great enough that the person doing this blog has a photo of a ’50s button console from (I think) the Monsanto House of the Future on the front page, but he also recently did an entry on Merlin! I for one didn’t know that Parker Brothers needed to inform Merlin buyers on how to properly use its unusually flat buttons.

Thanks Scrubbles. And yep, that's exactly from the Monsanto House of the Future. I really enjoyed your digging up the Blip and Merlin (same week!) commercials on YouTube. That's genius. I should start mining for those as well. I have a Blip at work, but I think they're having more fun in the commercial.

Neat, Bill. Keep up the good work on your weblog and congrats (I was on Rex's '02 Best Blogs list).
