Man, what a load of pretentious garbage. If you're indicative of the
mindset of the typical
Boiler member, then thank God I'm not involved.
After reading their manifesto and set of requirements ..."identify all the
design icons on our
home page..." (which ain't that hard, let me tell you) ...you tell them
your fave books, movies etc...
and they put you on a list pending "approval". I've got a bookcase full of
design, furniture and
architecture books, thank you. (smooth geometric shapes and everything!)
See above gibberish for a full understanding of their "aesthetic"...
Fuck that. Who wants to kiss ass to a faceless nobody in cyberspace in
order to enter
their land of geekdom? We've got all that right here!

PS...Is this the part where somebody tells me (again) how mod it is to be
vegetarian?
