Pocket Calculator from Office Depot. From this century.
I use two calculators – the one on my (obsolete) macbook pro and the one on my (really old) iPhone. Yet there is more than one functioning calculator hanging around the studio gathering dust. This one is not even sweetly vintage, like the TI-55 from Day 73.
Status: Disassemble for sea monster parts.
Kill-ratio: 18:2 or 9:1 A lazy day.
*Untitled Joke of the Day: Q: How many Untitled surrealist artists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: This is not a lightbulb. It is Untitled No. 8
*Refer to Day 117 and Day 116 for this titling thing and more “jokes”. Richard of The Future is Papier Mache , who is on a Prince titles venture, and John of notes to the milkman are to be thanked for this ongoing fixation. As is Ben of A Year of Living Sober, for his joke format.
Love the joke! I remember when I was a lad at school, the ultimate status symbol was a cylindrical slide rule – long before calculators.
Thanks! Slide rule as status symbol, neat. Don’t think this one is a cylindrical one > Day 37: https://obsoproject.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/day-37-slide-rule/ 🙂 Cheers
Love these office calculators – there’s something brutally utilitarian about them – they make no excuses for themselves.
Brutally utilitarian – like that. It’s actually quite cheap though – the plastic cover is useful, but could fall off any second:)
I use an old calculator to tell me how many days until my first drink in a year 🙂
Very practical:)
