An encyclopedia of once-common things passing us by.

(You can buy the lovely book version too.)

 

 

While doing some heavy duty cleaning today at my mom’s, I came across this sheet that features a picture of me (in the blue shirt) and a SharpVision LCD Projector. See, when I was a wee one, my mom worked with a lot of advertising/art director/graphic designer-y type people. Now and again, she’d pimp me out for them when they need to have a girl in a picture for internal use. Or something. Honestly, I don’t know what this was for, but I remember doing it. Wasn’t I a good pointer? I remember the screen was actually white, but they told us to pretend there was something exciting on it. I was such a good actress! This was 1992. A quick Google suggests that this baby cost about $7000. Today, of course, this kind of cash could make you the proud owner of every LCD projector in the world. Go ahead and project images of your projector on your projector! Then invite me over. You make the popcorn. I’ll point.
