RetroTech: The CalcuPen

Merge a pen with a calculator and you get the CalcuPen, a barely useable yet highly collectable piece of 1970s tech.

lol.

The more meta these puppet episodes become, the more we enjoy them. This one was extremely shameless filler material, I love it! ;)

[Pinkhaird]

I have to say, that display is incredibly aesthetically pleasing to me.

I repurposed one of those digital watch pens to help an anxious friend of mine pass an exam. Though the output was rather on the small side, it still worked perfectly- and even had a means of cycling through the stored text using the button at the top. Since we both learned the material while setting-up the thing, I was able to talk him out of cheating. He said he'd feel more confident if I joined him so I signed up to take the exam too. We both passed with flying colours- all without any recourse to sneaky digital aides-memoire. I still have that pen to this day in my display cabinet of treasured things.

On the contrary, now I want even more outtros 😂

[paulhayes]

I loved the "combining two functional and useful devices into something which can barely perform either job, " very good!

Yup, this video had it all!

Honestly, I think you should start having the tech stuff be the outro bonus for episodes of The Moans. I can just see you being interviewed in a decade, sobbing into a microphone about how you just wanted to make tech videos, but *nooo*, all anyone cares about are these stupid puppets, and now they're making a movie and nothing makes sense any more.

3:37 "...to perform really serious and important calculations." Looked up from my meal, wasn't disappointed. 😂

[jonglass]

"I think this might be the one that pushes us over the edge". Nope. Not at all. Huge laughs! Keep 'em comin'!

[markderoller]

I had the clock pen. Thanks for restoring that memory.

[ww]

No NO Don't stop the outtros!!!! We love them!!!

[AndersEngerJensen]

Now.. if only they could implement a way to store music on these pens in a retro fashion and have someone manufacture them... I'd have a new medium to release albums on! ^_^

[ukcardcast]

Doh! Everytime I watch a Technoan video, I feel the urge to go onto eBay to find something I either didn’t know I wanted again, or didn’t know existed. I had one of those stainless steel LCD pens back in the day - and now I want one again…

[BLY]

Nice try, but we loved the puppet outro. Remember Mat, you are only filler for the puppet content.

[jamesevans]

Techmoan puppet outros are the purest artform on YouTube. They are here to stay. There...that's settled then.

[GHDEFIANT]

Great puppet episode, could make a spin off channel staring them, could get dabchuk to guest star

[SmoothEmJay]

Said it before, but you could make a video about anything and I'd watch it. Haven't missed a single one so far and always found it educational and interesting.

[rrp]

YouTube has ruined itself with making creator blab on for the10 min mark, never on techmoan, quality content :)
