The Onion has a great piece about dot-com memorabilia of yesteryear: The Onion | New Economy Wistfully Recalled As Tiny Dot-Com Promotional Object Found In Drawer It certainly brings back many of my own memories from the Headlight.com “All the skills you need are just a click away” days of Champagne Fridays, foosball tournaments, Mahir […]
