Technology Goes “Retro-Chic” with YUBZ

Posted on 09 June 2010 by Douglas Moran


When I was a kid, most telephones were heavy, clunky things that sat on your Dad’s desk at home (or were firmly attached to the wall), and were robust enough to use for home defense if need be.  We’ve come a long way, baby, and frankly I’m diggin’ the 21st Century.  More natural and man-made disasters, but lower threat of nuclear extinction.

But some folks still have a hankering for them thar Good Old Days, and for those folks, YUBZ is presenting you with some pretty funky, retro and artist handset attachments for your phones.  If these babies don’t satisfy your hankering for some of that ol’ time telephonic religion, well, maybe you need to watch “Matlock” or something.  But in the meantime, surf on over to the YUBZ web site and check them out.  Their available for an MSRP of between $40 and $60 (give or take).

Doug is a nerd from way back, falling for a Commodore PET at the age of 15, and never looking back. Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. The fact that he commutes between his family in Austin and his day job in California is something that he is simply trying to live with. (Isabelle the Corgi helps.)
