Hipsters beware. This is not your “retro-inspired” kind of optical drive that you plug into your laptops and desktop PCs. Actually, this is your uncle’s portable CD player back then when it was cool to carry it around and before the influx of today’s portable digital audio (and video) players — the iPod Classic, the Walkman, Astell&Kern, Plenue and the likes as we knew today.
There’s no “official’ statement that has been released yet from manufacturers on when they will cease production or retire — in a more nicer way to say it — these portables devices. But statistics attest that every year, the sales of these particular devices are dropping — even in the popularity game. Falling behind the digital media race. These portable CD players weren’t able to comeback from the limelight. They suffered a major blow in the digital age.
Today, these portable devices are somewhere out there lying underneath your parents’ bed or kept in a box stored in garages. Some are left behind waiting for a good Samaritan that will pick them up and bring them to their final resting place — an electronic waste management dump sites. Some are lurking in the dark hoping for their deliverance (which is to be recycled). All we have to do for now is to wait on when it will be inducted in the digital wall of fame.
The portable CD player is another case of Death by Digital.

After all those photos from bike tours up the Redwood Coast, you might be wondering, how did people get around California before modern intermodal public transit and touring bikes? Well, since it's #ThrowbackThursday, here's a photo of how things were done in the latter half of the 20th century: we'd pile into a dangerous contraption called the Chevy Biscayne and drive it up to Lassen Volcanic National Park.
Oh, and since this week's #ThrowbackThursday theme is Women's Fashion, take a gander at my roommates' desert couture. (Me, I leaned towards the Kliban.)

I so loved that dress. The Elephant's eyes were buttons and the trunk hid a secret pocket. AND the skirt had pockets. ('Girl' clothes NEVER have enough pockets). I remember filling those pockets with rocks, feathers, and the like.
I also love how deformed my arms look in this picture.
ok lets do this throwbackthursday with our friends @melplosive and @vdrnn at the amateurmag issue008 release party back in 2011

csalltrac: I miss my stock cluster!
cuttyman9: I wish I could take that tach and transplant it in my dash
noritoy: You can. The whole assembly can be swapped. Many swap to the gts cluster since there were aftermarket backgrounds for them. @cuttyman9
noritoy: @csalltrac I want your cluster. That is in my future plans.
cuttyman9: Oh I know that, I have the 90-91 GTS cluster, I want the 9k tach and 160mph vs 150 and 8k but without the boost gauge
csalltrac: @noritoy I still love my dash. Someday Ill replace it with a stack unit like Meurz.
noritoy: @csalltrac I have idea what my final route would be. I will leave it like it is for a while but I will get a gps speedo to mount on the pillar so I know how fast I am actually going. Plus it should match my stock cluster.
