    Tomorrow's Vintage

    I tend to buy technology that is unique in design. I sold an old mobile phone for twice what I originally paid for it, and the phone was less than 10 years old. I'm still holding on to old PDAs like my beloved Apple Newton (anybody remember that one?) and would be inerested to see whatthey go...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    A loss of a great comic talent, and (at times), a really snappy dresser! Bernie could have died an obscure comic playing small houses, but one big break (A Spike Lee documentary about comedians) turned him into a megastar. What a great career, and what an inspiration to us all to take advantage...

    Share your favourite Jazz

    There was a German record label called JMT, which was distributed by Polygram in the US, that was one of my favorite labels in the world for the first 5 years of the 90s. They had Cassandra Wilson, Steve Coleman and Five Elements, Greg Osby, and I think the early Geri Allen stuff was on JMT...

    I Want To Believe

    Talk about vintage. I guess they couldn't get clearance on "I Want To Care But Don't" as a title.

    Just bought a 1997 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas on Friday. Had a bit of work done on it so that it glides along nicely, and man has it been a great weekend! Haven't taken pictures yet (waiting for my plates), but here's what she looked like from an ad running this week online:

    Obama and the tie.

    When I was a new account executive, I went to a meeting to pitch some new business about 9 years ago, and I didn't wear a tie. I didn't think the meeting was going to result in anything, because no one at my firm had ever been able to close them in 10 years of pitching. I closed at the first...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    I smoked an America Anthem today (that's the one in the fancy wood box) and I have to say I like this cigar. CAO rarely lets me down, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this one.

    Instruments - what do you play?

    I collect, restore, and play synthesizers and old drum machines. I can actually play drums and piano, but I like the synth sounds.

    J. Crew is now in the vintage hat buisness...

    To people who would shop at J. Crew, the garment is worth what is says on the tag. Where else are they shopping to know the difference? To them, this is vintage. It says so on the tag.

    Steampunk, Dieselpunk, etc.

    My passion for steampunk is actually how I found this forum. I am currently working on disguising a Zune with a pocketwatch chain with vintage styled suits.

    French Cuffs and other questions

    I wear French cuff shirts every day. Mostly in white, with an occasional blue tossed in now and again. It turns up your overall look, but doesn't immediately make it formal. Make sure your suit jacket sleeves are cut right because you're going to want a little more sleeve showing than you're...
