Shedding that Luddite luster..

I am writing this on my Kindle HDX (with keyboard) that Linda got me as a surprise gift--no pressure for her upcoming birthday--so I can now bring my camera to the Nerf Fab Shoppe diorama rather than the other way around. BTW, I discovered some scale rubber tyres with fine plastic wheels at the local hobby shop's science project section. The Stevems International products are 11mm, just the right size for my 1/43 Heller Mini Coopers. I also picked up[ some 18mm set ups which size perfectly to normal sized 1/43 vehicles.
Also stumbled upon some Dollar Tree metal Erector Set-type shapes which look like the will serve as frame extenders and motor brackets. Check out the bottom shelf of your local DT for this kind of mini-robot kit.

Noooo! You can't go post modern on us! All us old farts have to stick together. Luddites forever! I don't even use an electric typewriter. The kids today have actually reverted to our ways. They call it Steam Punk, but we are right at home.

11th wheels sound great! will miss your picture style for sure, but I'm also looking forward to the new ones!

A student came to my house and took home a Commodore 64 so he could enter Nerdvana

I once wood-grained a computer tower for a friend with luddite tendancies. Mouse too. Came up a treat.

Vinyl has made a grand return. Perhaps pen and paper will too.

Only if it is combined with a valve amplifier.

I think I can still lay my hands on some reel to reel gear at my parent's place.

Alas, I don't have a turntable myself. Well, not unless one counts the portable gramaphone.

Bummer! I can't find an eight-track for my 2009 Ranger!
