(Oct 19) Long post. It’s December, and pseudoreal is stuck in a museum in Astoria in October.

movie editing machine
This reminds me of when I was an editor of my college newspaper

the force, defeated by common window glass
We keep Yoda in a glass prison for our amusement

remember blade runner?
This would all be computer generated today

but it doesn't project the same image (get it?)
Don’t get me wrong, I like our new digital stuff

true tubes
But there’s something both elegant and real about these machines

as seen everywhere as the representative of old-timey teevees
A classic

this my friend, is a collection of serious shit
This stuff must have cost a fortune when it was new

this stuff, from way before my parents time, somehow reminds me of my own childhood
I don’t think I’ve shared this with any of my friends, let alone anyone else

i even had an 8mm projector
But I used to shoot movies as a child, and had a lot of photography equipment.

the colordaptor, noisy and dangerous!
This thing turned black and white TV into color TV somehow

edison-style
RTFM

old old skewl vinyl
The non-silent movie projector

70's technology!
This, boys and girls, ….

a what with what?
Is a Sony console TV with Betamax VCR.

(Oct 31) No Halloween Parade for me this year, either. 🙁

before there was cord-cutting, there was 'antenna cutting'
I remember when these were ‘new’ gadgets

It’s February, it must be Dorkbot. It appears that Valentine’s Day is on-deck.

Made with plasma

The Linuxization of the Gadgetry

the tell-tale hearts
They’ve got a lotta heart
