Vacuum tubes and transistors. On my mind tonight. They were made by the thousands, back when computers were babies. Where are they all now? I miss them. Why did the crude technologies have such fun shapes? Why does modern technology have to be so dull and sexless? Who wants to take a second look at a chip? I want to take a second look at vacuum tubes and transistors! I want them for a motif. How about placemats? A tablecloth? Covered with little vacuum tubes and transistors. Why not bedsheets? Curtains for the nursery? Better yet --wallpaper! I want this wallpaper. Where can I get it? I would never get tired of looking at vacuum tubes and transistors. What a fine thing it would be if I could wake up in the morning, cast my sleepy gaze upon the wall, and the first thing I would see would be vacuum tubes and transistors.

I know I never knew you as Mone, but this seems like a very Mone thing. :) I love that you have tubes and transistors on your mind--this is why you are so awesome. I love the pics--yes! Cathode Ray Tubes were on my mind earlier this week-which is strange that we both had tubes of some sort on our minds. Old technology has an earthiness to it--obvious metal. It just occurred to me, you REALLY like metal! HA! :)
ReplyDeletei think you may have some designer genes flowing thru your bloodstream, monie. go with that! sounds awesome to me.
ReplyDeleteYes, I really do like metal. Too bad I don't still have my metal collection.
ReplyDeleteYou had cathode ray tubes on your mind earlier this week? Sweet. Great minds think alike.
I would love to do a whole series of patterns based on defunct components of technology!
ReplyDeletethose patterns would be sweet ass!
ReplyDeleteYou are...The Metalist. Your eyes are magnetically and magically attracted to metal. You use the power of attraction to retrieve any metal. You use the metal for good. You are a MacGyver with "defunct components of technology".
ReplyDeleteMetalist...Love it! Can I put this somewhere as a description of myself on my blog?
ReplyDeleteMacGyver with "defunct components of technology"---love that even more!!!
HA! Sure! :)
ReplyDeletei do have a song with the words "cathode glow" but i havent finished it yet....................sigh
ReplyDeleteOh, bring it on, Laura. A song with the words "cathode glow" ----that will surely be my favorite.
