Warren’s Chrome messenger bag is the envy of all tote-carrying males: sleek and masculine, fully waterproof, and equipped with a seat belt closure. Inside, he carries a bike lock, two-inch analog tape, a water bottle, and his work clothes (he’s a valet). But his bag is no man purse, he insists. The distinction? “A man purse sits on your side,” says Warren, “but a messenger bag sits on your back.” Obvi...
...Greek may have invented the first coin-operated vending machine to sell holy water. The modern precursor of today's machines surfaced in 1880s London, dispensing postcards. Since then, machines have been used to sell everything from, well, soup to nuts. But they've remained fully rooted in the analog world. Enter Crowley's server-based company. It transforms video-game machines to offer 30 different games instead of one, and gives jukeboxes the capacity to deliver 2.2 million songs. Crowley expects the Coke machines could tap into that same tuneful database and sell downloads of full music tracks. That...
...reflex cameras. Photo enthusiasts pay a premium for slr cameras because they equate them with quality: slrs let users add different lenses, and are known for capturing more light and for snapping exactly what the photographer views through the finder. Canon and Nikon, both strong slr players from the analog days, are leading the charge. Sony, too, is moving for the first time into dslrs with its Alpha dslr A100, which hit the market in July. The camera uses slr technology Sony acquired from Konica Minolta, and is selling for around $1,000, lens included. Companies think the dslr will...
...ways, Jack White is the prototypical Jarmusch protagonist: emotionally volatile, slightly anachronistic, and unwittingly seductive. Jack’s passionate, if rambling, lectures on the impossibility of true love in the modern age have graced the pages of several White Stripes album liner notes, and his intractable commitment to analog recording technology has proven the bane of many a record producer. Jarmusch plays into Jack’s atavistic tendencies by shooting the video in Super 8 stock, giving it the look and feel of one of Godard’s “Nouvelle Vague” films...
...Musicians and audiophiles, who swear by the warmer sound of older, analog equipment, are also up in arms. Hiroki Kimoto, manager of a shop selling secondhand music gear in Tokyo, says half of the guitar amplifiers in his inventory fall under the PSE. "We don't know what we're going to do. It's ludicrous. I have never heard anyone having safety problems with these machines, but the whole music culture could be affected." Ryuichi Sakamoto, one of Japan's most famous musicians, has moved to the forefront of a group lobbying for the law to be revised...
