Sunday Things - aeronautical aedition

It continues. Somehow.


Bonus Antiquated Recording Media corner:
- Retro Tech: The Wire Recorder - audio ghosts from the 1950s, with this early home recording system
- Vintage Electronics - The Tefifon - pre-recorded cartridges resembling a cross between an 8-track cassette and a vinyl record, this 1950s German system looks like it escaped from an alternate future.
Sunday Things - mostly retro edition

Old hardware, new techniques. Or something. It's almost as if I choose the theme after throwing some random links together.


Bonus Teletext Design Corner:
- edit-tf - fully authentic Teletext frame editor. Fill your nostalgic recreations / low-fi pixel art / anachronistic somethings with visual verisimilitude!
- Enhanced Teletext specification - describes a futuristic upgraded Teletext, but also explains how those elusive held graphics work in older Teletext versions. I still can't get my head around them.
- Horsenburger's Textworks - hipsters get excited about '8-bit' pixel art which looks nothing like actual 8-bit hardware capabilities. True artists do it with Teletext. Also, completely insane.

Sunday Things - delving too deep edition
posted in Links by Cargo Cult on Sunday January 15 2017
So yes, the Sunday Things is back.
Surprised yet? I definitely am. Now, to rummage through some of the masses of links I've been building up...

Bonus Winter Holiday in your Own Home corner:
- Have a Log Cabin ...
- ... and a Snowman in VR, courtesy of that mentioned-so-many-times-here Destinations.

Yet more non-photos
posted in Virtual Reality by Cargo Cult on Sunday January 8 2017
It's 2017? Crikey. Have some more non-photos on Destinations:


I might point a camera at bits of Seattle eventually. As soon as I find myself a castle.
Bonus Not Scanned By Me But Awesome corner:
- Fark Mechanical Workshop in Staufen - Fark’sche Werkstatt in Staufen - gorgeous capture of an historic workshop thingy somewhere in Germany.
- Botany Bay, Antarctica - chunk of Antarctic coastline shot from a drone. Bit fuzzy, but gloriously desolate.
- القلعة The Umayyad Palace - one of several ancient buildings in Jordan captured by mkhamra. Splendid stuff.
- South Corsica - beach and campsite for lazing around in while you pretend it's not bloody freezing outside in Seattle.
There's loads more stuff on the Workshop to go exploring - this brief list was by no means exhaustive. Also, this was a covert Sunday Things. IT BEGINS!

Colourful post-apocalyptia
posted in Media by Cargo Cult on Friday November 11 2016
In a bit of a post-apocalyptic mood lately, for potentially obvious reasons. Ciclope, a beautiful little animation made for the opening of a film festival, cheered me up a bit:
Anyway, I'll be ready with my camera again. Although I'm seriously considering upgrading sooner or later...
