Celebrating Analog

A reminder that not everything is digital


Here is a thing that really happened. I made a photo, and then I wrote some words on the Internet. That is all.

“Sir, you must turn off all electronics.”
“OK.”
“Sir, please turn off the camera.”
“Ma’am, it doesn’t turn off, and it doesn’t turn on.”
“I’m sorry sir, but all electronics must be turned off until the Captain turns on the overhead lights.”
“Ma’am, it was built in 1938. It isn’t electronic. There is no On or Off, it’s completely mechanical.”
“Sir, I’m afraid you’re just going to have to put it away.”
