New #blogpost!

Over the years I've accumulated a couple of things that I probably don't need anymore, but they still take up space in my bedroom, so I wrote about some of them...

sentarme un rato a mirar
lo que recién fuimos.
es como jalar el gatillo /
/ no quise censurar con el dedo.

sin importar el equipaje que cargue
prefiero jalar el gatillo
apuntar siempre para el mismo lado
llorar cuando te vas.

so I have a rotary phone that I bought off of eBay. However, it has a very strange connector. At first I thought it was some strange coax variation. It's threaded, bigger on the bottom if you're holding it so the end is up. I sent ChatGPT a picture of it and it said it was a 505A bell connector, used up till the late 70s. Do y'all know where I can find a suitable adapter for such a thing that converts it into RJ11? For the life of me, I cannot seem to find one. I searched round 4-prong to RJ11 as well as 505A to RJ11 adapter, as it also listed that as one of it's names as well.

Приємно здивований точністю розмірів. Залишилось зробити частину корпусу під динамік і камеру (кнопки потім) і можна буде почати тестувати підключення і тип акумулятора(ів). Потім буде передня панель і клавіатура. #укркрафт #oldphones #sonyericsson #diy #retrophone

Found my old LG slide phone, and just found an SD card in it. Checking it, am reminded what TERRIBLE pictures it too, so little of interest. But I found this one picture from when we shared a flight from Portland to LA with Star Trek's Jeri Ryan. Had respected her space the whole flight, but tried to get a pic at baggage in LA. That's her with her baby at the end of the carousel. Yeah, it could also Bigfoot for all you can tell. (More in alt-text)
