I’ve been tidying up various cupboards, drawers and boxes, and look what I found? I mean, I knew that I’d had a few phones over the years, but… And what do you do with old phones, anyway? I put the old one in a drawer and think “I’ll keep that one as a backup in case my new phone breaks down”, and then… it stays...

Here’s some comics I’ve read over the past couple weeks. I bought another one of these DC collections of 70s comics for nostalgic reasons — I vaguely remember reading some of these when I was, like, ten. What I remember most is Jim Aparo’s artwork (who does all the art on all the issues) — it’s not hard to describe...

I found more stuff in the attic — this time around some comics catalogues from the 90s (and the year 2000). I really thought I had more of these, but I guess I must have had a previous spate of I”VE GOTTA CLEAN SOME STUFF UP and threw them out. The Fantagraphics catalogue is, of course, called “The Ultimate...

I found this in a box in the cellar, so unfortunately it’s absorbed some moist cellar air over the years. But! Let’s have a look at it anyway — I think it’s a mildly interesting artefact (if you’re into 4AD). So it’s a catalogue from 4AD from the early 90s. Well — mid 90s, I guess… I just love the design and...

I found more stuff in a drawer! This is, I think, my very first compact digital camera. Looks like it was released in 2003? So I probably bought it shortly after that. It’s very scuffed, and I think I remember carrying around in my pants pocket while going around on holidays and stuff. I charged the battery, and:...

I found these in a drawer full of “misc”. What can they be? Hm… “Night light”… “lustgården”… “The lie”… Oh! Right! Back when I was watching 87 Bergman things I got these DVDs from a prolific French bootlegger — he had tons and tons of obscure things, mostly Scandinavian — taped from TV, many of them. Things like...

A couple months ago I bought a Reterminal E1004 epaper display which I was going to use to display (in my living room) the temperature and stuff… but then it turned out that the update cycle is so absolutely horrendous that it’s not something you can have on your wall if it’s going to update often. And if you’re...

Look what I found! Yes, it’s a promo letter from Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson containing three plastic cards (credit card sized). Aww. And a postcard. Aww. Oh well.

Computers have always been hard.

A week ago (or so) I debugged the kitchen clock which is doing this: I tried swapping out everything else except the screen itself, but no dice. And then a commenter confirmed that these screens are indeed flaky (or at least some production runs are), so I got a new one. Which arrived a couple days ago: Unboxing:...

I wonder how this happened — it’s a cheque from CD Universe from 2003 that I found while rooting through some old boxes. It’s TWENTY TWO AND 25/100 DOLLARS and I didn’t cash it, probably because the fee for cashing it would have been more than that… I don’t really have a recollection why CD Universe would send me a...
