Ohhhh…. glowing and black. Must be awesome. What you see above is an interesting little device that is referred to as a ‘Robotic printer’. I spotted this Kickstater item over HERE and I found myself very curious. Check out the video on the site, and prepare to be amazed. Yeah, to be honest…
Words can’t express how much I feel frustrated about packing this house. But a string of letters can! FFFFFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKKK! Anyway.. Now I’ve got that out, I can talk about my current attempts at packing typewriters. While the baxter boxes from work weren’t large enough, I did find that I can use boxes used to transport…
In the last year or so many of the typosphere have noted that there’s been a dramatic increase in the price of typewriters sites like eBay and Etsy. While the market for these machines is growing and typewriters are no longer seen as valueless antiques sitting in the garage, there’s naturally been a steady increase…
It has been a while since I’ve addressed the question of 3D printing typewriter components. As I’ve so far been the only person to really attempt to tackle it, whenever the topic seems to arise in forums naturally I’ll end up getting an email or a message on the subject. So I think it is…

I got a phone call from Steve K (writelephant) about 10:30 telling me that he’d managed to acquire one of the covered park benches at the park. This was fortunate as the section directly under the bridge that I wanted to use was sadly off-limits. They had done some grass replacement there. So when Natalie…
