Digital measuring tools are not only binary in their guts, they are binary in function. They either work or not. When the batteries die on our digital scale or thermometer, they become useless pieces of plastic.
Analog measuring tools are different. They may loose precision and require calibration, but it takes a lot to break them.
There is also beauty in this hanging scale that my digital kitchen scale will never have.
Antique Hanging Scale
I am a technologist, foodie, photographer, gardener, music lover and political junkie. I have always saved ticket stubs, old business cards, doodles and other ephemera in shoe boxes, scrapbooks or desk drawers. Some things get saved and some are lost over time. I travel a lot, take many photos and try to keep notes of my experiences, whether interesting meals, great bottles of wine, or cool articles I have read. This site is my latest attempt to consolidate this content for the entertainment of my friends and family.
