Sentimental value

 

The Eveready Gold batteries bought to try and see if the second CASIO dictionary was broken back in 2012 Lindfield, ended up going with us to Japan, primarily for use with ICD-B15, and then came back here to Adelaide. Never used. One leaked and was thrown away. So I finally made up my mind to use them up on my IC Recorder and dispose of them.

In the future after all, there won’t be any single use batteries on sale.

I wonder if there’s any battery collector who keeps a  blog full of batteries from the 20th century. After all, their designs are many and varied.

My arsenal of gadgets primarily comprises of Sony (PCs, cameras, audio related, and software),  Panasonic (lights, batteries, one earphone, many SD cards I later got, a rare Leica lens LUMIX camera, a strobe light from the 80s) and CASIO (dictionary and calculator, 2 of each, primarily because they had their uses when we didn’t have much internet or other sources, and a watch I stopped using in 2018-19). I have Samsung phones, Chinese hifi DACs, and other random brands which have high cost performance. I have Apple too (software DVDs, mum’s iPad, iPhone 4s, and my audio dongle). 2 Logicool mouses, 1 omron device, some Logitech speakers, Sony speakers.

I have a variety of equipment, most of which are on the low-end of the spectrum. Most of them have not been used very much. Their specific use cases never arose. Other times, I pack them up very carefully to their original state, like CANVIO or ZX110, only to realise that they shouldn’t lie there idle. For example, I packed up my ever increasing set of USB micro B cables, but left some outside for use. I took out nearly all TRRS headsets which came for free with the phones. They sound terrible except for the Xperia headset, muddy and unclear describes them well. EX150AP is the best.

COMPLETED VERSION Charles Perkins and the 1965 Australian Freedom Ride

Image
  Charles Perkins and the 1965 Australian Freedom Ride Charles Perkins was a champion for the rights and justice of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and an inspirational soccer player. He has described the Freedom Ride as the “the greatest and most exciting event [he had] ever been involved with in Aboriginal affairs”. A re-enactment and celebration of the Ride’s 50 th anniversary was held by the University of Sydney in 2015. That’s just last year. The original campaign was conceived and made possible through the occurrence of the civil rights movement in the U.S in the beginning of the 1960s. The Freedom Riders, as they were called in America, saw effective media coverage but were initially slow to achieve their purpose of desegregation on buses. Despite the violence and unrest it provoked, the tradition of direct action in civil rights was formed and solutions to segregation problems were implemented. Originally, University of Sydney students demonstrating out...
