Book idea: The design of ports. MagSafe, Atari’s serial, headphone jack, Centronics, SCART.
Going beyond functionality and specs. The stories, the emotions, the beauty, the horror.

I’ve chatted with Frank about opening it up to submissions … if for no other reason than to document the buckets of adapters in my basement.

You can also make your own! This way both of your personalities can shine through? I like the idea of the world having two adapter museums that could also interface (huh huh) heavily.

So many puns early in the morning!
I wish I could dedicate more time to it, including a brick-and-mortar establishment.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

You could start with a vending machine.

OMG this would be a cool art project/exhibit at a computer museum. A (not functional) vending machine with old adapters and their descriptions, put somewhere as almost an Easter egg.

I can supply all the inventory you need from my father-in-law’s desk drawer. I’ve seen RS232 cables in there.

New idea: A large-scale art project that uses cables and connectors sent from around the world to actually *do* something. (If only I was an artist…)
