Yep, technology gets old, rakishly. While most formerly cutting-edge tech ends up in a assortment of yesterday's trash, Locke does his overpower to preserve specimens the most desirable way he knows how: by burying them.

It started when Locke had some super rubber after making molds. "I grabbed an old Nintendo controller I had falsification around--it was an iconic symbol of my teens--and I thought it'd be cool to shelter it as a fossil," he says.

That gave him his first soup. Now he regularly haunts his local Goodwill upon in Austin, Texas, which receives electronics donations from nearby companies."The guys [at Goodwill] get a punt out of what I'm doing, and they are always on the lookout for lessen gear that I could use in my projects."
