Hey, I just signed up for the archive issues, and I was wondering if there was a way to read a text only version on a desktop. I noticed it's mentioned there is a text only version available for mobile, but I can't figure out how to access it. from the description: "View any article back to issue #1...

i dont think it would be specific to the size. has anyone ever seen a studio with exposed brick walls instead of drywall or another smooth surface? Im having trouble finding information about them.

this looks just like the basement from the basement scene in gran torino

how does a room with 3 normal walls and one brick wall sound?

does the single brick wall throw everything off, or does it help because of its rough shape?
