Nerd library to end all nerd libraries
Nerd library to end all nerd libraries - Boing Boing
Stephen Levy toured the personal library of Priceline founder Jay Walker and discovered nerdvana: a wunderkammer piled to the rafters with the most pricelessly awesome nerd artifacts of all time — an original Sputnik, the Thing hand from the Addams Family, a globe of the moon signed by every astronaut who’s walked on it, an original of Robert Hooke’s Micrographia, an Enigma machine, etc. You know, I’ve often turned my nose up at the absurd excesses of wealth, but this is one guy who knows how to spend several million on really rad junk.
I would love to see this.
