Other Things

I'm entering this text on my latest find - the Grail of computing.  I mean of course a Model M keyboard with real clicky keys!  It's just loud enough to swap in the next time someone complains about the typewriter noise.

 And finally, here's my own Travel-Riter, with a Corsair for scale.  It's basket shift.  It's having a problem - the carriage is off the rails somehow, as if something came loose.  I've been meaning to see if anyone has suggestions but I need to get a more precise diagnosis and good pics.

Based on a true story

I have fictionalized my flight down to LAX to make the purpose a bit more interesting, and since my own name doesn't have a nice "fictional" sound to it, I casted about vainly for another.  obviously rule one was brevity but perhaps I need to prioritize "mouth feel" of names above brevity.

So yes, I did type on Virgin America again and realized later I was using the same typewriter again.

LAX next week - who wants a type-in?

Short bikecast on paper from my pocket (above).

Longer typecast originally planned for today (below).

The weekend in typewriters

Riding up the street, I saw a typewriter on a car tailgate and had to get a shot of it.  I like that it's on a "Matrix" too.

hooray!

the missing typewriter

pretty cool logo - such a shame. 

Some good news, I got good mail today.  My niece sent me these.
