Website of the Day: Vintage Ad Browser
Feb 1, 2010 7:30 AM Today's site satisfies my love for all things vintage — especially vintage geek ! Vintage Ad Browser features old magazine and newspaper ads across tons of categories, like computers , sports, drinks, even SPAM (the canned meat, not the email!). You can browse pages of old ads by category and decade. And in some cases, you can click through to buy a print of the advertisement on eBay. It's easy to get lost in the pages of advertisements, and I love the retro feel of so many of the ads — very Mad Men -esque!

Retro CRT TV: Love It or Leave It?
Jan 28, 2010 3:45 PM As televisions ( and gadgets ) get thinner and thinner, LG is bucking the trend and releasing a retro-style CTR television (that stands for cathode ray tube . . . you know, old school), complete with dials, rabbit ears, and a 14-inch screen. For now, they're only available in Korea and retail for about $216.
I like its retro feel, but think it's kind of funny that the same company who announced a super-thin digital TV at this year's CES would release a brand new, old-school TV. What do you think?

Vintage Computer Ads From Monique Marie
Jan 18, 2010 9:00 AM Check out these ads! Reader Monique Marie posted a gallery of vintage computer advertisements in the Vintage Geek Group . You can view five of them below, or view all 10 in her post .
The best part of looking at vintage ads like these is knowing that a decade from now we'll be looking back at today's ads laughing at how silly they look.

The Future will have Retro Robots
Jan 11, 2010 1:15 PM My brother who works for Tesla Motors is currently exploring Detroit Auto Show . And thankfully sent me this video of a robot at the convention! I am thrilled to see as we enter the future, the robots will still have a retro flare! I definitely want one of these guys for my house!
