Hello.
Theodor Seuss Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss, was a prolific architectural thinker. His experimental drawings show speculative domestic architectures: houses and pueblo-like villages with oddly sloped roofs, multiple off-set levels, and wild color schemes, always looking as if they were on the verge of falling over. They were something like a cross between an overgrown victorian house and a small shanty made of tin and wood. Lebbeus Woods was probably inspired by Dr. Seuss.
In Willow, Alaska, a
now-abandoned 12-story house
sits mysteriously in the middle of the wilderness outside of Anchorage. The towering wooden structure resembles a stack of houses, each smaller than the next as it climbs toward the sky. The quirky tower is as weird and wonderful as Dr. Seuss' unbuilt works, and the townspeople have named it Dr. Seuss House. It is on private property, but you see it by driving by or taking a helicopter tour.
In an odd turn of architectural fate, the
Geisel Library
at San Diego State University by
William Pereira
is named for Dr. Seuss. It is one of the classic 1960s American campus Brutalist treasures, with Seussian, gravity-defying concrete levels that expand outward toward the sky. The closest that architects have come to actually making the architecture Dr. Seuss might be husband and wife artist duo Arakawa and Gins.

Which is fine for the purposes of the story—“Internet” and “Web” are now interchangeable in common speech—but also off, because the Internet was not new in 1996/1997; the Internet started in 1969. The World Wide Web, which was built on top of the Internet—and not just any Internet, but the cheaply available Internet on commodity hardware and free software—was only a few years old.
All new to me, though. New to people in their 20s. Just as New York City was also new to me. They’re all bundled together in my head, the Web and the city. I’ve been comparing one to the other for decades.
Once you see one network you see them everywhere. WhiskerNet, for example. WhiskerNet is when you visit someone’s home, or one of the more progressive offices, and their cat nuzzles your shoes. Then you go home—maybe with a train or plane, maybe by walking—and your cats also nuzzle your shoes, sensing the other, distant cat by its smell.
The remote cat, you realize, was picking up your cats when it was nuzzling your shoes. They have exchanged cat packets. Allow me to illustrate:

“We’re delighted to be sponsoring the Irish Touring Car Championship and are really looking forward to the year ahead. We’ve had a couple of extremely productive meetings with the Championship organisers already and have a whole range of exciting ideas in the pipeline to help promote the class, broaden its appeal and bring ITCC to a new audience. We’d like to take this opportunity to wish all the teams and competitors the very best of luck for the year ahead”
The first official test day of 2015 took place last Sunday at
Mondello Park
where a huge turn out of competitors and spectators looked extremely promising for the year ahead. The ITCC class will be boosted by an influx of Seat Leon Supercup cars, supported by
Murray Motorosport
. The Seat's are an exciting addition to the class and as many as10 of them are expected by the end of the year.
