Some of my coworkers were talking about using RSS to read blogs, which made some of the younger folks in our team ask what it is and why we keep using it.

Some still use iPods to avoid subscriptions and streaming services, my favorite was one of our sysadmins who showed me Gopher.

I’m curious about others though, thanks!

    There’s a few appliances that we refuse to let go. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. My wife loves our early 1970’s General Electric range. It’s got push button controls that are built into the range hood. That was actually a brilliant idea since it keeps the controls from getting all greasy and my little kids can’t reach them.

    Our old vacuum, a 1953 Kirby (which I’ve had for 25 years) has been semi-retired. Our house has a 1970’s Kenmore central vac. Just put a new motor in it last year so it should be good to go for a while, hopefully.
