The Buckets by Greg Cravens for August 26, 2019

I have a keyboard, mouse, and TV I can connect to my phone.

I had a theater scene-shop artist pull that trick on me. ‘Twas in the ’70’s before cellphones. It was a prop rigged w/a battery so it could ring on cue. We were about to meet in a hall when it rang. He answered and said “Yeah, he’s right here” and handed me the ’phone.

An apostrophe on “phone”?! I think the last person who did that was Alexander Graham Bell.

He must have some very large pockets to carry that phone.

I should get that one for my mother…lol

I want a red one so I can call Batman

Here’s half of that:

Tbh that could, and probably is, selling quite well. Not a practical appearance to walk around with, but different.

There are many offerings for a small box that you plug into a vintage phone and that makes a Bluetooth connection to a smart phone so you can use the vintage.

Gotta get me one of those old fangled phones.

Here’s the whole thing! Pretty neat https://hackaday.com/2018/04/18/classic-american-dial-phone-gets-a-gsm-makeover/

What kinda apps can you get for that thing?

I’m still waiting for the shoe phones from Get Smart.

That’s sure gonna’ look funny in his back pocket…
