I used a Nixie tube as an example in my presentation on the evolution of digital typography [0]. I actually brought a nixie clock with me, which was a nice visual aid.

This presentation was wonderful, thank you! Is there a video by any chance?
Offtopic: I notice it doesn't mention (my favourite) Knuth's Metafont, an unfortunate dead-end in the history of digital typography. And I used some scans of yours in answering (and understanding) a question on TeX.SE a while ago (https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/361722/48); thanks for that as well.
Glad you liked it! Unfortunately there was going to be a video but it didn't happen for technical reasons. I'd love to have the opportunity to do another spin of that talk.
Of course I had to pick and choose, and Metafont is near and dear to my heart, but since the audience for this was mostly humanities rather than a more technical crowd, it didn't make the final cut.
