just saw a really cool project posted on the internet and thought i'd mention it.

Basically a woman has made books within a book in an attempt to explain a Kindle to a 19th century person, such as Charles Dickens.
Very cool idea. It reminded me of an essay I wrote to go with an art piece I made. I made a doll's house then wrote the essay looking at different dollshouses through history and then ending with The Sims - the modern day dolls house. Was a fun time.
