The Brown Box

Museum: Smithsonian Museum of American History

The Brown Box is the first at home game conceal, created in 1967 by Ralph Bear. He created the device while working for Sanders and Associates (a deface company) and the box would be licensed to the Magnavox TV. The brown box was the second prototype of what would become the Magnavox Odyssey. Sadly the game system would not be a huge hit, arguable because Magnavox treated the game conceal as gimmick and not a truly new invention.

You can find the article listing on the Smithsonian's website: https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/nmah_1301997

American GLAM followers, start making copies.

Use the list of words that are being censored at the National Science Foundation and create a list of materials at your work that you think might be at risk for destruction. Back everything you can up on a hard drive and remove it from the institution.

TIFF files are great, but we are going for quantity, not quality here - copy as much as you can. Keep it somewhere safe and be careful who you tell about these copies. Save what you can.

Get a leg up on the weekend with these colossal limbs! Snapped circa 1899, this archival photo from the Museum’s digital collections depicts a Museum preparator standing beside the fossilized limbs of dinosaurs discovered in Wyoming. The larger bones belong to sauropods, while the smaller bones belong to a theropod—likely Allosaurus.

Don't act shocked.

You can choose only ONE no in-between answers. Be brave and bold and decisive and elaborate in the tags if you wish

[dearmash1975project]

One of hundreds of letters sent to CBS after “Abyssinia Henry” aired 50 years ago today on March 18th, 1975. Many of them were from young children.

Last summer I started working on a project with these letters where I tracked down and spoke to many of the children who wrote them (now in their 60s). The project is on hold until I finish this school year, but I leaving cryptic messages on the answering machines of America's boomers resulted in some of the best conversations I've ever had. I'll keep you updated. I chose to share this image as the letter writer is anonymous.
