mad calculator
I made this!
This is my calculator
Its solar powered and has been left switched on since the 1980s, and during that time it has somehow developed its own form of consciousness - every morning it has weird random numbers on its screen and stored in its memory.
So I've set up what is probably the most pointless twitter account of all time to document its daily ramblings. This could possibly be of no interest to anyone whatsoever but who knows, those numbers might actually mean something to somebody...

When skynet takes over
this calculator will surely be remembered as the first digital poet.

its makes me laugh to think a few people were already following it
without knowing what the fuck it was about.

this is ace
i guess some will think it is like "lost" or those numbers you can hear on the radio at certain frequencies that no one knows what they are for.
i love the 0 0 it is displaying in the pic above.

that was the one that inspired me to start documenting them a couple of years ago
it was like a blank face staring at me.
i've been through a few theories myself - theres no way i could be sleep-calculating as some days it has numbers that are impossible to key in. The most likey explanation is that its gone a bit mental

It's working its way towards the ultimate answer
One day it will just show "42" and then stop forever

The only reason I'm following this on Twitter
Is in the hope that one morning you wake up to 5318008.

5518008 would be rubbish!
I much prefer waking up to 58008

is this somehow automatic, or are you writing these down each morning?

i write them myself
seeing as my calculator has no way of influencing the outside world other than displaying gibberish on its lcd screen.
It feels a bit like stephen hawking is dictating a novel to me by blinking his eye
