Snagged one (1) #Filofax from 1987, less common Wellington which as name suggests is made from a rubber type material rather than #vinyl / #leather - when I saw it was red and black I had to get it as it matches the colour of my car - and I wanted it to store my car maintenance log / petrol diary (I'm keeping my Winchester for other day to day notes and plans as its been with me since 1992 when I got it at a reduced price from some random shop in Reading)
It came with 2004/2005 diaries, old Tube/Underground map (still showing Surrey Quays as Surrey Docks and missing the DLR!) and a ratty set of dividers, and needed a bit of cleaning

After a lot of elbow grease the deep dish pizza pan is clean and rust free. It was absolutely filthy but for $2.50 and the sake of saving something from a landfill, I don't mind putting in the work. I will probably have to season it but since I don't know where it's been, I would rather start from scratch. #reuse #restore #recycle #thrift
Meitä suomalaisia ylikuluttajia komennetaan kuluttamaan lisää, mutta entä jos käytetty onkin uutta parempaa, kuten Ted Gioia kirjoittaa Substack-tilillään:
- New stuff is so poorly made that I’m now increasingly buying old items for my own use, and not only as gifts. The quality coming from the large online retailers is abysmal, and my safest bet is often secondhand.

I've had these #Meindl hiking boots for over 50 years. Bought them with money I made as a kid drawing editorial cartoons for my hometown newspaper. They got me started #hiking the #Appalachian #Trail in #Virginia and #Pennsylvania, and later in the #Sierra #Nevada. It was past time to get them re-soled and some TLC. Meindl-approved cobbler in Seattle worked wonders. I went nuts with 72-inch laces. #craftsmanship #reuse #repair
Warum sind indirekte Zitate für Mensch und Maschine so schwer zu erkennen? Frederik Arnold und Robert Jäschke präsentieren diese Woche beim @atclariah Workshop "re-late – re-use – re-vise" in Wien entsprechende Ergebnisse ihrer Forschung im Rahmen des Projekts "Is Expert Knowledge Key?".

A friend of mine gifted me a “decommissioned”* HP enterprise server that is WAY beyond anything I have ever needed. I’m seriously blown away. My home lab just got a massive upgrade.
*Apparently it was configured and sent to a client, but it was immediately sent back and never used. Sat on a shelf for 6+ years.
Giant naalbinding needle that I made from the handle of a bamboo toothbrush, inspired by a Sally Pointer video (upcycling, waste not want not, etc.). This size will be great for making netted bags. I had a netted shopping bag years ago that I just loved, but it wore out, and I miss it. Time to replace it and maybe make a few extras, for myself or as gifts.
