Nice photo submitted by my friend Max Frey. He took it with his iPhone. Aren’t iPhone cameras kind of like modern Polaroids?

CUTE ANIMALS WITH OBSOLETE OBJECTS: Vol. III, Issue 4.
Actually, this is a cute animal with an obsolete object and CAKE!

In an article about art in Philadelphia, The New York Times has this photo of a typewriter, decorated with cigarette/cigar wrappers, dollars, and shoe polish cans (as far as I can tell). So many obsolete (or fading) things in one photograph! Swoon.

Remember when all 17-year-old girls blogged enthusiastically about typewriters, gave them names, and then photographed them in the trunk of their cars?
Meet Luci, the newest addition to my already crowded heart. She is a Remington typewriter from my grandpa’s college years. I haven’t actually met her, but I adore her. She’s coming home on Wednesday (my dad picked her up on his way to Portland and will come home then.) I can hardly wait to put my fingers to those keys. Eek. So excited.
PS: I am not crazy; I simply enjoy personification to the point that a machine can become my new best friend. Like I said, not crazy. Righhhhhtttt.
Gotta love this Smith-Corona, retrofitted so that it works as a keyboard for a computer. Its inventor, Erik at multipledigression.com , came up with the idea after his wife mentioned that old typewriters didn’t aggravate her hand and wrist problems the way that new computer keyboards do. He made it for as a surprise Christmas gift.
