The Citroën DS was manufactured and marketed by the French company Citroën from 1955 to 1975. Styled by Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni and the French aeronautical engineer André Lefèbvre, the DS was known for its aerodynamic futuristic body design and innovative technology, including a hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension.
The DS advanced achievable standards in automobile ride quality, handling, and braking. Citroën sold nearly 1.5 million D-series during the model's 20-year production run. The DS came in third in the 1999 Car of the Century competition, recognizing the world's most influential auto designs, and was named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine.

The Lights of Winter
That is what the Disney Parks Blog called the Lights of Winter at EPCOT in its confirmation that they wouldn't be displayed this year. Obsolete technology? There were probably meetings held yesterday to come up with an official line for this, and yet this is the best that could be mustered up? Give me a break.
Although it won't affect me directly this year, this really grinds my gears, and is yet another example of cuts that have occurred around the holiday season for no apparent reason (Country Bear Christmas, Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas, live bands in the Christmas parade, free pictures at the Christmas parties, shows in the Diamond Horseshoe, free buttons and shopping discounts for the Candlelight Dining package, etc.). Some have said these cuts have been made due to cost-savings, but I don't find that to be a compelling rationale. While no one could have expected these things to last forever (Disney is not a museum), the argument that these items have all been replaced by better holiday offerings is unpersuasive. Show me what replaced Country Bear Christmas? Nothing. Twas the Night Before Christmas? Totally Tomorrowland Christmas (need I say more?). Free picture? PhotoPass discounts. Freebies for Candlelight dining packages? Price increases to the dining packages.
I really don't think this is a cut stemming from anything but laziness. To me, this illustrates that Disney does not perform its due diligence before making decisions and/or tailors its research to suit its pre-determined decisions. The Lights of Winter have installation/removal, maintenance, and electricity costs. If updated to LED lights (I'm no expert, but something tells me if WDI can make Expedition Everest, converting the Lights of Winter would be no problem, and could be done in like a day), the savings in electricity would probably offset the update costs. Despite these costs, the Lights of Winter are probably profitable. Several PhotoPass photographers are stationed in the area. Additionally, the lights are a huge holiday draw to Walt Disney World. While you'll find few people who will cancel their trip this year because they won't be up, you will see a minute decrease in bookings next year. The reason for that is two-fold: disappointed guests who remember them from the past, but feel 'cheated' that the holiday offerings are being reduced, and new guests who the parks fail to capture (these guests would be 'captured' after seeing pictures of the lights on Facebook, Flickr, etc., and reading/hearing accounts of the gorgeous display--if said lights are not displayed, these new guests cannot be captured). Finally and most importantly, there is a loss in goodwill that is nearly irreparable. There is a reason there is a Disney difference that separates it from parks such as Cedar Point (Cory's favorite). At some point, if Disney continues to trim what it perceives to be 'fat' on its offerings to increase profits, it will start to cut bone.
Then again, maybe Disney is waiting for the LED lights to be 90% off at Wal-Mart after Christmas...

While no technological masterpiece, this old egg beater is an obsolete dinosaur by today's standards - these days cakes are mostly made using electric mixers or food processors. But this old egg beater has served me well, having mixed cakes week in, week out when my family was growing up.
I could have taken a shot of the egg beater doing nothing, but thought I should whip up a 'throw it all in together and mix' type cake. The recipe called for the eggs to be beaten with some caster sugar till thick and creamy and then add the rest of the ingredients and combine. Now it's cooked, I suppose I'm going to have to eat it so my efforts aren't wasted.
Old shot from this spring: The Science and Technology Museum located in Tokyo, Chiyoda City, near Imperial Palace. We passed up the museum, not because it looked little bit old-fashioned, but simply because we did not have time.

25 May 2015 Macro Mondays: technology
Almost time of those of us who live in NM to convert from heat to swamp coolers, which brought to mind a technology that's fairly old, but oh so important. The pilot light of our home's furnace.
Near Future Technology is our first foray into the slightly daunting world of NFT's and just like us she's unsure of what happens next. Blockchain here we come...
Near Future Technology is available on Opensea here
Barbara was technically just a sophisticated computer program with access to an android body although her programming didn't allow her the luxury of knowing that. She also felt completely heartbroken at the demise of her tamagotchi and her programming definitely wasn't supposed to allow that either. She didn't really have a heart after all.
It was all very confusing both for her and for the scientists who were studying her. She was the first of her kind and was currently confounding all expectations. She would gaze out of the window for hours at a time and would lament at length about her deceased digital friend. How would she cope in this brave new world...
Cheers

A workout on the fingers. The once popular National cash register required great finger strength to activate.
For Macro Mondays theme "technology". This is one of the vacuum tubes (or valves for thos on the other side of the water) in a guitar amp, taken at night so the glow of the filament can be seen.
Oh how photography has changed over the years from big bulky complicated cameras to the small digital ones of today.
Computers and electronic technology are in the classrooms for good. Many schools have 1 to 1 initiatives that put a computing device into the hands of each student. This graphic is a challenge for teachers to move beyond the obvious and traditional uses of computers (browsing, clicking, chatting, and gaming) to inventing, designing, creating, building, sharing. Inspired by a Mitch Resnick Lifelong Kindergarten video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7rlLml5ReQ
We don't just browse, click, chat, game, we invent, we design, we create, we build, we share.

I was coming up on the escalator when I saw this scene. In the next few seconds the girl got up and moved away.

Stepping inside, we're greeted by the technology aisles! While this shot looks straight-on at them, you might be able to tell from the light placements above that the aisles are directed at an angle. To the right are more angled aisles (which I didn't get pictures of, primarily due to the fact that they have newer [likely printed in-store] unbranded aisle signs) featuring general office merchandise.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
