A blog about all kinds of vintage technology from simple mechanisms of the late 1800s through electronics and robotics of the 1980s. Many posts will be typecast and some will be off topic bits from everyday life. The blog will wander and meander with my quasi-evolving and ever changing interests.

Special Delivery from the Interplanetary Library System
Thank goodness for the United Federation of Planets and the awesome Interplanetary Library System! I am seriously behind in my blog and am remiss in not showing this amazing transmission. We assume that it dropped in through a wormhole; the obvious first choice for moving printed materials through time and space.
There is, of course, the slight possibility that this transmission is of contemporary origin and was the product of a prolific and kind fictional correspondence partner. If that be the case, the Wisconsin resident in question has far more creativity in letterhead and font manipulation that I. (Kneeling and bowing on the floor) "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"
Update: Here is the transmittal letter in its full glory:
Whether by wormhole, quasar fluctuation, quantum displacement or by the hands of the Postal Service, we at the house full of nerds are grateful for this package. It very much made our day!
