I often miss the analog days of the 80s. Had a pager, not a phone. Used pay phones. Read the paper, had magazine subscriptions. Looked through the TV guide to see when shows were on. Life was more measured and time off was really time off.

@hawaiiboy I am slowly working towards this again. Flip phone that essentially acts like a landline. Walkman with my favorite cassettes. iPod Touch with everything but music and podcasts turned off. Library card. No TV and no streaming services.

@hawaiiboy I’m eagerly awaiting my un-Smartphone Kit and my Watchy device as experiments in retro-tech.

@Cheri I look forward to seeing your unsmartphone build!

I also ordered a Watchy after seeing your mention of it a while back. Awaiting its arrival here too. It is fun to see their documentation come together in the meantime.

@fgtech Have you picked a watch face to try? I like Starry Horizon but I’ll need to figure out how to add the step counter.

@Cheri I’ll probably end up making my own face eventually, since the DIY aspect is the point for me. I am partial to the LCARS and Hobbit faces, though.
