Interview: Tom Smith

Posted on November 12, 2010 by Chuck Tomasi

You guys are going to love this! Tom Smith is a filker – honest, that’s what he does, and he’s good at it.

Kreg and I caught him at Dragon*Con 2010 and just laughed our ***** off. As soon as I started listening, I knew that we had to have him on Technorama and share the silliness.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll smash a frickin’ fairy!

Time Traveller or a Guy Who Dresses Ahead of His Time

A 1940's photo of a guy in modern day shades, t-shirt and SLR camera

Time Traveller or a guy too chic for 1940

Sony retires the cassette Walkman

Posted on October 25, 2010 by Kreg Steppe

Wow…I saw this and my immediate reaction was, “They still sell the cassette Walkman?”. Apparently they do/did.

After retiring the floppy disk in March, Sony has halted the manufacture and distribution of another now-obsolete technology: the cassette Walkman, the first low-cost, portable music player. The final batch was shipped to Japanese retailers in April, according to IT Media. Once these units are sold, new cassette Walkmans will no longer be available through the manufacturer
