Shot for #FlickrFriday #BeKindRewind
Very kind of him to offer to help, but these young robots nowadays with their mp3s and their downloads wouldn't know that it's a pencil you need, not a spanner. Tsk.
Remembering the past for this week's #FlickrFriday challenge - #BeKindRewind. My grandmother used to type on a machine like this old Remington manual typewriter.
A little wooden crate I bought for my tapes at Licorice Pizza in Visalia back in 1983. It's falling apart now, but it travelled throughout the Western U.S. with me. The Motels tape is faded from the sun as are the rest of the tapes.
Three bonus points if you know why a Bic pen is in this picture!
I was so happy to find Bic pens in the original style at the grocery store. Mostly so I could use them with my Spirograph :-)
The tape I listened to the most was my Surf Music tape. It's at the top of the stack in the back even though you can't see it too well. The funny thing is that I can still play tapes in the car I have now!
You might remember this Motels tune...

A Flickr Friday entry on the subject "Be Kind Rewind".
The topic is meant to evoke memories of old media - incredibly I still have hours of 8mm film, the camera it was shot on and even one of the original film packets (which was mailed back to you when the film was processed by Kodak).
Euh... Sois gentil, rembobine : c'est une impasse !
" Ce qui ne tue pas rend plus fort " (F.N., Le Crépuscule des Idoles).

Hmm... Be kind, rewind : this is a dead end !

The French PUN following is quite untranslatable without loosing its meaning.

Before mp3, there was vinyl. Before the days of streaming and dvds, there was VHS, and so on. Let's remember the past and rewind our memory this Flickr Friday!
In this week's Flickr Friday we invite you to take your best shot for this theme #BeKindRewind. We will feature our favorite photos from submissions you share in the Flickr Friday group pool in the Flickr Blog next week.

It wasn't that long ago when cassettes were still in heavy use; some years still alongside CDs and MP3s. Remember needing to use a pen or pencil to wind your cassettes?
Maybe I just THINK it wasn't that long ago.
(Side story: I knew immediately what I wanted to do for this week's theme. I dug through some boxes and couldn't find any of my old tapes. I know they're here somewhere! I ended up driving down to Goodwill for some 50¢ cassette tapes that I could destroy. Even if I did find my old New Kids on the Block tapes, I wouldn't want to destroy them! I put a playable one from Goodwill in my old truck tape deck. It played for a bit, and then when I tried to eject it, it stuck! Really?! I don't miss that one bit.)
That was the way we used to rewind the cassettes on the summer camp in order to save the batteries of the walkman! :-)
For flickr friday "be kind rewind" theme.
When I saw the flickr Friday theme I immediately thought of the maxell "blown away guy" advertisement.
I had the original poster on my wall as a kid in high school. It was one of my favorites.
No solar eclipse for us here in North America or even this hemisphere, but it got me thinking about it when I saw the moon like this this morning.
I got up super early in hopes that I might get to see some Northern Lights due to the recent solar storm, but no luck there either. I went ahead and took the opportunity, since I was going without sleep, to get some shots of the Milky Way (not pictured, but I will be posting one tomorrow). I had already finished and put all my camera equipment back in the truck and was updating my Facebook status, when I looked up and saw the moon rising right at twilight. I decided that I really needed to take the time to get the shot and it was so worth it. It really was a moment that you would want to watch over and over again.
I hope you really enjoy this shot and if you do, feel free to tell me about it or just fave it.
Thanks.
My father took this Pioneer watch on campaigns in Norway, India and Burma, where it survived the Burma Retreat and construction of the Imphal-Kohima Road. It still winds and ticks away today, sweet as a nut. Have a dekko!
What would you say if we could travel from one centure to another? Would it be as easy as taking a plane ticket and flying far away? Just imagine how it would be exciting to meet you grandmother in her sweet sixteen or to visit your grandchild when he'll be sixty. Time. Yeasterday.Today.Tomorrow. Welcome us. We are back to the future.

FlickrFriday No. 112: #BeKindRewind
Pretty blank on this week´s theme - didn´t want to post another casette pic. So I decided to create a kind of "mixtape" with scans from old analog negatives.

Gregory Alan "Greg" Maddux (born April 14, 1966), nicknamed "Mad Dog" and "The Professor", is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher. He is best known for playing for the Chicago Cubs and the Atlanta Braves. He was the first pitcher in major league history to win the Cy Young Award for four consecutive years (1992–1995), a feat matched only by one other pitcher (Randy Johnson). During those four seasons, Maddux had a 75–29 record with a 1.98 earned run average (ERA), while allowing less than one runner per inning.
Maddux is the only pitcher in MLB history to win at least 15 games for 17 straight seasons. In addition, he holds the record for most Gold Gloves with eighteen. A superb control pitcher, Maddux won more games during the 1990s than any other pitcher and is 8th on the all-time career wins list with 355. Since the start of the post-1920 live-ball era, only Warren Spahn (363) recorded more career wins than Maddux. He is one of only 10 pitchers ever to achieve both 300 wins and 3,000 strikeouts, and is the only pitcher to record over 300 wins, over 3,000 strikeouts, and fewer than 1,000 walks.
On January 8, 2014, Maddux was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility with the most votes and 97.2%.

I saw Maddux pitch a few times. It was like watching a robot from the future.
