One ringy dingy...

All calls accepted; no calls out?

The Cat is calling from inside the house!

So far from what i've seen, I prefer this to The Repair Shop

"This is The Repair Shop for gadgetry. An endearingly nerdy new series, this celebrates the dying art of mending broken tech – not only reducing waste but breathing new life into design classics. It’s fronted by super-fixer Rob Howard, a full-time restorer of “anything old with a plug on it” at his Norwich workshop."

"What's this telephone made from, Mrs. Poppins?"

Omg children remember when my sister and I drove 9 TUBS of #bakelite, #celluloid & other #vintage #buttons from my mom's #collection/ #hoard to a store in Berkeley last year??

Like please take these buttons.

Celluloid buttons are flammable, btw.

Well, I found another cache of buttons.

My #lgbtq #artist #sober friends in #NC LOVE the little bottle of buttons I brought back so now I really want to #liberate these ones for the gays 🤷‍♀️

I just spent an enjoyable morning browsing this vintage #bakelite collection and wanted to share.

Since I acquired some brown filament, I've been thinking about printing some small replicas of vintage #bakelite radios. This PLA has something like that look.

They're beautiful things from an iconic and influential age of design.

Here are four attractive ones that would work with my filament supply. The design capture would be a fun effort too.

If you have a #camera like one of these (or similar black #bakelite cameras with round metal labels around their lenses) that says "Made in Hong Kong" or "Made In Japan," I am interested! Here are some USA made examples: #vintagecameras

Seeing my brown PLA filament printing I'm getting ideas about other stuff to print with it. It would be great for replicas of old #Bakelite electronics gear, like radios and instruments of various kinds. Also old rusty metal things.

@SinclairLewis It's amazing what was, and is in some cases, made of that compound.

I got the #phone here before I fled #London. Typically this place has now gone (it had been there a LONG time). A trend that was one of the reasons I left.

@wildfirescot Aah yes, but #bakelite comes in all kinds of pretty colours...

And the oceans of #hotChocolate sounds NICE. I think I'll need to subscribe to #TelephoneSunday instead of muting it 😉

@gregorj do you think I’m a sadist? It’ll be wall to wall #cake and oceans of #hotchocolate on #TelephoneSunday and lots of #bakelite (less tasty)

Anybody on here like Bakelite?

I understand the feud and all thru history. History and religion are two of my favorite subjects. Religion mainly for the sociology aspects.

LeVays book is somewhat laughable. Not real heavy into true dark religion. More of a 'dont be used; worship yourself' theme. Palpable for the masses. Seems written as a shoe-in, culture wise, for a greater push, like we see now.

Good thing u said something! I was about to pick up the ADL blue-phone. I have a direct line.. #Bakelite style

@RandomDaemon @Johncdvorak The b-roll of John walking on the street was super-curmudgeonly! Whoever edited that is a dick.

Paraphrasing from this interview: "There's no indication anyone wants a glass screen on a complete multi-media television studio that can communicate with the planet and fits in your pocket. I expect this will go the way of the mouse."

Relied on my phone and software in general too much, having a great time with an all analog music setup into a cassette 4 track #bakelite
