I’m getting a hour-glass.
Much better than a regular timer when you’re doing the “Pomodoro” method and have to get something done. But I also have a nice lava-lamp, which is great when you’re listening to music. And a record-player for vinyl CDs. And fidget toys for my ADHD and Autism (to stim while I’m doing something).
I’ll be honest: I need eitiher:
Portability
Analog
If I can’t carry it or if it’s not mechanical, the i don’t care.
Look up Chris Staecker on YouTube he does videos of antique computers like adding machines and Napiers bones
I myself would recommend to you the book Analog by Robert Hassan, which does include Marxist analysis on analog technology, or quotes by Marx regarding such.
Adding machines, I know of.
What are Napiers bones?
Anyway, I’ll check it out! Thanks!~
They are a set of sticks with numbers etched on them which can be arranged to perform multiplication and division.
