+> Today's catch is five arguments that digitising something quietly threw away its body. A turntable that spins on the desktop with the album art on its label, a CD floating in acrylic with nothing holding it, thirty-six keyboards you can hear by typing on your own, a blog published in the writer's actual handwriting, and a German collection where the hair dryers hang from the ceiling on wires.
