A view of the disk platters for this ICL disk drive. The entire unit is capable of storing 80MB of data.
A lab, with lots of boxes and random materials all over the place. Note how the open drawer contains a single floppy disk. The R on the trash can indicates that it is to be used for radioactive or otherwise dangerous waste.

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaistos_Disc:
"The Phaistos Disc (Phaistos Disk, Phaestos Disc) is a disk of fired clay from the Minoan palace of Phaistos, possibly dating to the middle or late Minoan Bronze Age (2nd millennium BC). It is about 15 cm in diameter and covered on both sides with a spiral of stamped symbols. Its purpose and meaning, and even its original geographical place of manufacture, remain disputed, making it one of the most famous mysteries of archaeology. This unique object is now on display at the archaeological museum of Heraklion in Crete, Greece."
Featuring my graduated disk beads. I forgot how gratifying it can be to finish a project in only half an hour!
This zip disk is from the Gavin Lambert Collection of Books and Tapes (Collection Number 1278). Department of Special Collections, Charles E. Young Research Library, UCLA.

Record of the Day

Remember these? And, true to history, I erased this disk and used it for something else (hence the sticker above).
The sticker, incidentally, is the unused middle of a cassette tape sticker from the days when I worked in creative production at Hallam FM.

The Phaistos Disk is considered by some the oldest known print of mankind, by others it's considered a hoax. Nobody knows whether there is a meaning to all the signs, or if they're just ornamental. Discovered in 1907 in the Minoan ruins of Phaistos on Crete, it has been the subject of many an interpretation attempt. However, the small total body of text - it consists of only 241 signs - defies any decisive conclusion. If no more text will be found, it remains a mystery forever.
"What's that?!" Was a question posed to me a few years ago when my Son saw an Vinyl LP for the first time.
I explained that there was a small concentric groove on the surface of the disk, the needle of the record player responds to the vibrations caused by the bumps in the groove to produce sound.
He understood. There is a whole generation who haven't a clue what these items are.
Here discarded and unwanted LP records are being used for creative purposes. The record is spun in a human powered device which started life as an exercise bike, then paint is introduced.
The nearest record to the camera is labelled: Eurythmics - Greatest Hits, Side 1.

This Hartl Optical Disk from 1925 is part of the "Dynamic Equilibrium" display at the Nott Memorial on the campus of Union College in Schenectady. The display explores the intersection of art and science.
The Hartl Optical Disk is designed to demonstrate important principles of optics, such as reflection by various shapes of mirrors, refraction through several types of lenses, total internal reflection and dispersion. The apparatus consists of a satin finished metallic disc about 30mm in diameter, graduated around the circumference. On the back of the disc is a handle that is used to to rotate the disk through 360 degrees in a vertical line about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the plane and passing through the center of the disc. The disc is partially shield by a fully-adjustable hood. On the hood, a circular plate has slits to allow rays of light to pass through and fall on the optical elements. The hood also has a slot for placing red, green, and blue filters.
Now for the photo info: I started out thinking that a 5 exposure HDR would look good, however the background was too overpowering. So I clipped the disk from the photo, and made two copies of the background. The base copy was convered into B&W and the overlying copy was blured slightly and made 40% transparent.
Let me know what you think of it...

Philips SPE3071CC/00 750 Gb USB 2.0 External Hard Disk.
See red-cyan anaglyph version.
Cross-view stereo photo. To view, cross your eyes until you see four images. Then slowly relax until the two middle images snap into one. Your right eye should point towards the left image, and your left eye towards the right image. See one of the Stereo/3D pools for more info.
What's it good for:
Should be just enough to install the next version of Windows ;-)
Snif! I remember when I had a 20 Mb hard disk and I thought I would never ever be able to fill it!
For Philips it's a 750 Gb hard disk. For you and me it's only 700 Gb. Don't you just hate how hard disk manufacturers have decided that 1 Gb is 1000^3 bytes, instead of 1024^3?
Incidentally, that casing with all that rubber padding seems to say "sturdy" and "drop me!", and the printed box says "robust and durable", but then they added a sticker on the aluminum casing saying "Caution: fragile hard disk inside. Not for portable use."
I imagine that hard disks with more than 250 GB are more delicate and Philips decided that they might as well keep on using the robust casing to better protect it and just warn the user not to be fooled by the robust look of it. Only prob with that is that the box says "robust" and you only get to see the sticker inside once you've bought the thing!
