I’m such a sucker for the analogue that this article on The Verge on Lo-fi journalling overnight inspired me to crack open the Leuchtturm1917 Bullet Journal again this morning, and get my fingers all inky cleaning out a dried up fountain pen.
Bonus: they also introduced this retro cassette boombox from We are Rewind, too.

But it all gets me thinking back to Kevin Kelly in What Technology Wants, where he describes how he can still buy modern iterations (not versions, as such, not developments) of things he found in adverts in an 1800s newspaper. Technology survives, even as it evolves and some keystone technologies like pens and paper, and tactile audio like vinyl and cassettes, refuse to go away.
