My friend Roger, the school librarian, gave me a cool little article about vinyl records. You know, the long playing platters most cool cats used to listen to. How cool are records, now? Imagine my search for equilibrium when Roger told me the article came from that bastion of hip-ness, AARP Magazine. Yeah, I've finally caught up with the folks who rally to advance the cause of retired persons.Even the nonlistening rituals of record ownership are burned into the memories of everyone who ever had a collection. Need proof? Head down to a music store and buy a record—most larger shops now have at least a small vinyl section. The rest will come naturally: bring the record home (on the way, I guarantee, you'll admire the cover artwork). Now slip your thumbnail into the cellophane sheath, right at the album's business end, and slide it along. Feel that flutter in your stomach as the album opens? You're remembering what it's like to access your music with a single, graceful stroke—instead of peeling, stabbing, cutting, and finally biting your way into a CD jewel case. Now slide out the inner sleeve. There she is: the proud, black thing of beauty, her label winking at you through the sleeve's center hole. As you extract the disk from the sleeve, you'll find you haven't forgotten how to hold it safely: your thumb at the ridge, the label resting on your fingers.
When I first met her, Aggie would greet my knock on the door with loud barking. She used to scare people she didn't know like that, but truthfully, as soon as you entered her domain, she'd more likely lick you all over, and jump up and down, standing on her hind legs. Indeed, it wasn't long before Aggie would meet me at the door like Fred Flintstone's Dino.
That "genius" Glenn Beck said the video "The Story of Stuff" is socialist propaganda, so for that reason alone, you should watch it. Take 20 minutes of your time, stay with it, and learn. As you watch, take a look around the room you're sitting in, and wonder how you ever got so much stuff.
OK, so I've never actually misplaced any phone, ever, but I know some youngsters who lose everything they've ever touched. Here's a handy website that does nothing but dial any phone number you provide to make that phone ring. If you can hear it, you'll be able to find it. I tested it, and it really works!
While wading through the Beatles remastered CDs, I stumbled onto something quite entertaining for us nerdy types, on the world wide web.
