From December 17, 2012, Yahoo! Finance by Vanessa Wong.
1. Incandescent Light Bulbs-- unless they can meet new standards in 2013, they're gone by next year. I'm already stocking up on them.
2. Old iPhone Charger-- Imagine Apple having planned obsolescence! No problem here, I don't have an iPhone and wouldn't know how to use one if I did.
3. Stamp Collections-- I never got into it, but I do keep a few stamps from each year with my journals.
4. Motion Picture Film-- Fuji is dropping production. Filmmakers are going to digital technology. No problem here as my kids never saw a movie in class back in the 70s as I couldn't quite get the hang of threading the film.
5. Issue of Newsweek Magazine-- First printed in 1933. The last print issue on the newstands now. I saw one yesterday. I subscribed to the magazine on several different occasions and was about to get a new subscription a couple months ago with the great deal they were offering. Glad I didn't.
I like my news in hand, not on some screen. I did have a subscription to US News and World Report when they printed their last issue. I could get their digital edition, but, like I said, I don't do news that way, well, except in gathering news for these darn blogs.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
