The "Mighty Wurlitzer"

Michaela's mom and sister was in town yesterday. We enjoyed time with them, and in the evening we went to the Organ Stop, which has a very impressive Wurlitzer organ. Oh yeah this was impressive. There are only a few theaters that still have one of these, but this was a pizza parlor that you got to eat while he did a recital. It was really neat-o watching the Wurlitzer raise out of the floor and twist around and sound coming from everywhere. A great treat for all who come to visit us (it is in Mesa, so you could visit Bret also).

My friend and I were recently talking about how involved with technology our daily lives have become. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further develops, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.

I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory falls, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about every once in a while.

You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.

Interesting post... Looks like solid state memory is finally starting to take off. Hopefully we'll start seeing a drop in solid-state drive prices soon. $5 32 gig SDs for your Nintendo DS flash card... sounds gooooood.
