I once had a stack of Popular Mechanics which I purposed to read cover-to-cover. None were so old as most of the magazines at this site, but I think the older ones are better, funnier, and more amazing. They are also good fodder for the creative mind to chew on… munch munch.

Thank you both for all your hard work!

Uh, didn’t they knew that there are only 3 devices to build a robot: a pulley, a lever and an inclined combustine engine

I rarely comment, but I’ve been reading the site and stealing content for one of my sites regularly for well over a year now. Thanks to you and Simone for all the awesome work, and I hope you never stop doing this.

I love your blog and whilst it has nothing to do with my work life (or really my personal) it’s a breath of fresh air into my online reading – congrats on getting to 2 and here’s to many more!

Well, I didn’t post many comments and I guess this is the time to add another, like: please don’t stop, this is too good ! Others above have taken the words from my mouth: it makes the internet worthwile.
And if you go to a new design, please don’t make it to wild. I like this one. It’s clear, simple, and fits the contents alright.
Thanks again.

CONGRATS! and as I have said before, thank you very much for the invaluable work you have been doing for all of us. This is a really precious initiative and that’s what makes all the web crap be worth it. PLEASE, DON’T STOP!

Thanks everyone, I’m really glad you like the site!

William: I have thought of that, but I actually have plenty of material to scan, it’s just getting the time to scan and edit it that’s the problem. Right now I have five really awesome issues of Modern Mechanix that Simone has scanned, but that I haven’t gotten a chance to edit yet.

A wonderful work. Have you ever given the thought of posting a “want list” of publications presently missing from your collection with a mailing address for any that would like to donate to “keep the ball rolling”?

Thank you very much for your great labor, not only for scanning and posting whole articles but specially for the lively commentaries you write, enhancing the experience of reading this old material.

Thank you again, and keep up the good work!!!

Keep up the great site. I now look every day to see what new articles are posted.

…and I always love seeing Willie Vocalite or any of the old Westinghouse robots.

By the way, Willie and his brothers are still on display here: http://www.mansfieldmuseum.org/exhibits.html

I grew up reading old Popular Science amd Popular Mechanics as a child in India. Someone had donated a large set of bound volumes of these magazines to my school. Every lunch break, I used to spend a wonderful hour reading these magazines. Your web site brings back many happy memories.

You have brought a tremendous enjoyment to thousands of readers, young and old. I remember some of the articles from my childhood browsing my dad’s collection from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. They bring back many good memories. I particularly enjoy the DIY articles from an age before litigation and fear of liability put an end to anything more adventurous than painting a table or building a shelf.

Thank you and I wish you both all the best!

I found this site not too long ago when I was looking for futuristic house prototypes from the early 20th C. and I’ve subscribed to the RSS feed ever since. Love the inventor/visionary/futurist spirit that permeates all of this stuff. All the hard work you two put into getting these out here in the information commons is definitely appreciated. Thanks!

I grew up reading my Dad’s collection of these magazines. That experience was lost until I found this website. Your blog has become one of my favorite stops on the net. Thanks for the last two years and we’ll be looking forward to many more.

You could not have created a site more suited toward my fascination with how we got where we are today. (And how we didn’t get how we are today.) Thank you so much for all your work!

It is a terrific site that I have used as a resource for many posts relating to housing, solar and the environment. Congratulations and keep it up!!!
