"Si potrebbe almanaccare a lungo sul valore simbolico di quel gadget a forma di duomo di Milano (se le testimonianze riferite dicono il vero) scagliato sul volto dell’uomo che dalla Madunina ha cominciato il suo viaggio verso il potere. O meglio, l’onnipotenza. Un volto che artifici cosmetici e chirurgici vorrebbero conservare intatto nel tempo, e che in un attimo viene prostrato dal sangue che copioso sgorga dalla ferita. E il sovrumano rientra nei limiti dell’umano."
(Angelo d'Orsi)
Sure, iPods are cool and everybody loves them, but sometimes I'm in the mood for the old, sturdy and reliable sony minidisc. It's a shame I don't have the headphones anymore.

This gadget belonged to my FIL. As you say, the plane blade was clamped into the slot in the leading edge and the screw that controls the roller could be adjusted so that the bevel on the blade was at the correct angle. The second part of this tool was an oil stone that was large enough to accept the tool with enough length to allow it to be run back and forth on the stone, thus sharpening the blade.
Neat eh?

This is my HTC HD2 sitting on top of my cheapo Android 10 inch tablet. Quite tricky to get the two lots of text to line up(it's still not perfect) and I couldn't find a (quick) way to light it that didn't result in a load of flare or reflections, so there is a lot of black edge on display here!

This is a post in response to several threads in the Strobist group (I have seen it pop up on UTATA and the Canon DSLR User Group as well) asking how does one connect a Pocket Wizard or an E-bay Trigger to a Brand-X flash.
The key component in use here is the Wein HSH ( which sells for about $30). As Dave Hobby mentions in a post from Sept. 2006 this little device lets you connect a flash without a PC-synch terminal on it (Sigma EF-500 DG Super users I'm looking at you) to a variety of trigger devices. This allows me to use my flash with:
The advantage of the house-hold connection is it is a lot stronger than a standard PC connection. As also mentioned in the post, another nice feature of these adapters is they have a 1/4 x 20 mounting thread on the bottom. Since the bodies are aluminum they make for a sturdy flash mount.
I connect my flash to the Gadget Infinity triggers via a standard PC-to-HH sync cord. I just let the trigger hang by the cord because it is so light. This helps solve two of the annoyances of these triggers:
1. It provides for a more solid flash mount
2. It brings the flash more in line with the center of the umbrella.
Using a small length of zip cord, a house-hold plug (bought from the hardware store for $1), and standard 1/8 mini-plug (Radio Shack for $1.50) I made my own sync cable. I can now connect my Pocket Wizards to any flash.

Let's see if anybody recognizes this special item. It was given to me by a doctor friend. :)
This IS a sonic screwdriver. Fans of Dr. Who recognized it as the all purpose tool which has gotten our favorite Time Lord out of many a jam.
> No cassette deck has ever been an oil painting, but early examples of the breed were particularly nasty to look at. Seventies top-loaders were fussy and a pain to use, while front-loaders looked brash and imposing. As for the machines' mechanics, forget it. Crude and clunky, they only served to confirm cassette's status as the poor relation of open-reel.

kitchen gadgets essay
081031 {yymmdd}
When we are small, kitchen craft is taken care of by the parents or other house-occupants without our conscious awareness. Food arrives, plates are cleaned, and the idea that any of this takes effort never enters our little heads. When we grow up and set up a home of our own, we unconsciously copy the habits we learned when small, even if this was appropriate decades before, and there is no reason to go on doing things that way.
Then the advertisers move in. They suggest the latest tin-opener, genuinely designed, so they say, to open tins rather than people. They promote orange juice squeezers, and suggest electric waffle-irons for cooking cheese-and-ham paninis. These ideas seem good, particularly when reinforced by our friends and acquaintances who have more experience and money than we seem to possess. The result is that our kitchen gradually fills up with electric gadgets; with exotic devices for cutting and opening, and even large "white goods" representing significant capital investment.
Experience tells us that the usual fate of most of these devices is to be used for a few months and then abandoned. Then, what to do with them becomes the issue. We feel unwilling to chuck them away, and selling them is not very feasible - it seems to the potential purchaser be like using recycled loo-paper. Not a good idea at all. So gradually, little by little, the kitchen fills up with unused and unwanted mathoms.
Even worse, one's well-meaning friends drift through and spot a gap in our kitchen goods market. Gifts of further unwanted equipment arrive. Often these have had a prior life as unwanted utensils in other people's kitchens. And one never wants to throw away the inherited pots, pans, crockery from Victoria's reign, and that marvellous coffee percolator made by Russell Hobbes in 1963 that has always leaked, and makes revolting coffee, but the china jug is Poole Pottery and might one day be a valuable museum piece.
As with most familiar objects, unwanted kitchen detritus works its way into the background of our being, into our expectations of order, and becomes part of the family. On the other hand, the things used regularly, the oven, the hob, the dishwasher, the sludge-gulper, the toaster, the coffee espresso machine, and the microwave oven, never elevate themselves into our consciousness as mere "gadgets". By definition, a "gadget" is a one-day wonder, of little use long term, and just a talking point for visitors.
Sometimes one's gadget provokes such a reaction in a visitor that it is re-elevated to a condition of service. One spends a happy half hour showing off what it will do; what visitor is not going to be impressed by a freshly-baked loaf of bread in the Breville breadmaker? But this enthusiasm seldom lasts.....
Generally, kitchen gadgets are not very useful. What would be useful is to resurrect one's parent(s).
