Time for Jai
The 30 year old who shakes your hand warmly is nothing like a ‘throwback’, as Australians have snobbishly been described in a recent profile on his Suicide Squad co-star Margot Robbie.

Forward to the Past
It’s the first ever commercial handheld phone, costing USD$4,000 in 1983, taking 10 hours to charge and with enough memory for — count ’em — 30 phone numbers. Technology that barely replaces a scrap of paper, weighs a hundred times more and costs a fortune? Now that’s cool… … Continue readingForward to the Past
