Pokia: Retro Handsets

Pokia: Retro Handsets 07/08/2004 12:29 PM

The Times -- the Home & Garden section, of course, not Circuits -- has an article about those Pokia handsets, the retrofitted old-style phones that occasionally show up for sale on eBay. More art pieces than products, the idea behind Pokia, says creator Nicolas Roope, is to challenge the mobile industry to free themselves from the sci-fi styling rut and start taking more aesthetic chances with the form factors of our phones. It's a cute hack -- although I doubt there's a burgeoning trend in it -- and I have to say I agree with the general sentiment. Who wouldn't like to see a phone made out of wood, or copper, or meat?

Roope has even created a special edition Pokia to take advantage of the publicity commemorate The Times' profile.

Retro Nintendo Watches

Retro Nintendo Watches 06/06/2005 12:09 AM

Some of my favorite childhood memories involved these big jars of tamales that my dad would buy and that I'd make and eat in bulk coupled with a few minutes of LCD gaming goodness on my old Pac Man watch. As a result, I was a pretty fat kid. Well, I can relive those artery clogging days with these retro watches feature 'tenda favorites like Donkey Kong, Zelda, and G.I. Joe (?). As a rule, these things last about five days before something cracks and then you're out of luck, but it's nice to recapture those low-fi days of yore in these trying times.

Plus, we like anything that shows a little pale belly skin.

Retro Audio: EMS Synthi A and AKS

Retro Audio: EMS Synthi A and AKS 09/24/2004 09:55 AM

In 1971 EMS (Electronic Music Studios) released two versions of this portable three-oscillator synthesizer, the Synthi A and the AKS (pictured). Both were miniaturized repackagings of EMS's earlier VCS3 unit, but the AKS took things a step further with its included monophonic digital sequencer and 30-note touch pad keyboard. The bit that looks like a Battleship grid in the middle is actually used to route signal to various parts of the unit by sticking pins in the appropriate holes.

Shane Glines' Cartoon Retro

Shane Glines' Cartoon Retro 08/27/2004 04:03 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: My friend Scott has been telling me to check out a new subscription-based website published by Shane Glines. Glines is an animation character designer and one of my favorite illustrators. He worked for Spumco (the studio that made Ren & Stimpy) and on the Batman animated series.

Glines describes his new site, Cartoon Retro, as being "devoted to celebrating and exploring the largely forgotten work of great artists, cartoonists, illustrators, photographers, filmmakers, actors, musicians and industrial designers from what, in my opinion, was the peak of American culture: approximately 1925 through 1939." In addition, Shane posts some of his own work on the site, too

I just signed-up, and am blown away with all the great stuff available. If you are at all interested in the art from this era (like I am), the $5 / month fee is well worth it. I hope enough people sign up to convince him to keep up the great work. Link

Retro Gadget Tuesday: The Autopen

Retro Gadget Tuesday: The Autopen 06/08/2004 10:24 AM

So while everyone knows, or should know, that most celebrity autographs out there are fakes, who knew that there is such a history of gadgetry designed for the purpose. Thomas Jefferson invented a machine he dubbed the 'polygraph' (no relation) which was a pen attached to a jury-rigged get up attached to other pens, sort of a fancy colonial version of those autosigner toys you could make with Tinker Toys as a kid, that allowed him to sign multiple documents at once -- meaning even your John Hancock autograph could theoretically be a dupe.

I feel absolutely absolved of any guilt I might ever have had about the two or three Tupperware bins of junk I have stuffed under my desk. Over 200 different machines in this auction (that mass of wires and plastic in the picture are just the controllers), including a variety of Spectrum and Acorns, as well as various Nintendo and Sega machines, plus hundreds of software titles (mostly, he says, on tape). This man, clearly, was insane a collector. Only £128 right now, but the auction has 8 days to go. Strangely, it's local pickup only. (Thanks, Damon!)
