Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
I should probably get to bed, too. Good night, everybody.

Heh, I've actually seen instances where the Google Street View car has blatantly driven past "ROAD CLOSED" signs, so it's not that far-fetched.
Regarding phones: I have a Model 500 here, and it still works, too, even on modern FiOS service. I need to get it wired up proper for modular, though. :P
And I've noticed the Nortel Meridian ringtone (skip ahead to 0:19) showing up as a stock sound effect all over the place recently.

...Can you dial with it? I know the Model 500 has pulse dialing, which I didn't think anyone supported anymore...
Also you reminded me of something my mother pointed out once, namely that TV scenes set in office environments almost always have a phone ringing in the background, to make the place seem more "hectic".

Anonymous Avenue's Dream House
Living Room:
A four-way beacon assembly hangs from the ceiling, flashing red toward the front door and back door and yellow toward the living room and and kitchen. (It's wired to a switch, so it can be turned off while watching movies.)
A bookshelf full of Anonus's VHS tapes sits next to the TV, all labeled neatly. Also present is equipment for transferring the tapes to digital format, where the video is saved on a Linux server in the basement.
A Western Electric Model 500 rotary phone sits on an endtable, wired to be functional even with a modern phone line.
Dining Room:
A framed map of the US with Interstate 70 highlighted hangs on the wall.
Home Office:
Framed type specimens decorate the walls. Each one is accompanied by the name of the typeface, the designer's name, and the year of release.
...I want to expand on this. Perhaps it will be a running feature.

So AU, what do you think of my ideas for our dream house?

I hadn't thought about it before, but yeah, having it flash like that would be a pain.
Maybe we could just have one standard three-light signal mounted on the wall, and have it cycle G/Y/R? That'd be more tolerable, I think. Or even just having all three lights lit steady, thought that might be kinda bright...

I remember speaking at our first shareholders' meeting. I told the group of men and women seated before me that I stood on the shoulders of a giant whose antiquated business goals would have sunk this company, so thank God he died.
Also I didn't realize until just the other day that that "so call me maybe" meme was actually based on a song. I just now listened to it, it was catchy.

Is it weird that I want Todd in the Shadows to do a review of that "Call Me Maybe" song? I mean, it's not particularly obnoxious or memorable as far as pop music goes...
why do so many pop songs revolve around telephones anyway
because they're made by aliens who try to be like us by using phones, as humans do.
that sounds strained but it is actually the original context of that quote.
Also I'm currently kicking myself because I gave an even-nerdier-than-me girl my number the other day and didn't say "here's my number, so call me maybe" when I did so. Ah, well, next time.
