This might be the first time anyone has thought of making a ‘zine in Rolodex format! I can’t find any mentions of it being done before, so who knows? In any case, it’s done now, and you can make your own copies to put in your Rolodex and send to your Correspondents! 1) Download the […]

Mail Call: A Bunches O’Mail plus a sneak peek at “ROLODEXZINE! one”
It all started after staring at my test “Jimbo Ziglet” 4-Panel Rolodex card and thinking about how many pages of thinner paper I could fit in that little matchbook and still have it work in a Rolodex. Prolly too small to be useful as a notebook, but you could make a ‘Zine out of it. […]
My Correspondents, and things I should remember about them: Rolodex edition.
So, I got a couple new comments on my post about the 1949 “Friends” book I found at Deseret a couple years ago, which made me ponder how useful it would be if I could make a Rolodex card that could hold more information than is usual for what you can type on a standard […]
Mail Call: Death Metal Cassette Tapes & Something Else!
An uncharacteristic burst of RAGE at the USPS
In Conclusion: You don’t want to do your job, then you either QUIT, or I stop paying you. That’s the way this works. Ever-increasing prices for ever-decreasing service is not the way to encourage people to save your dying dinosaur ass. ): Oh, and if you *do* like the USPS and think I’m being harsh, […]

Mail Call: A Letter From The Center for Typewritten Communications and Typewriter Reclamation!
Got a letter from Bill G last night, and he’s now on Episode 20! I have already answered it, and managed to trick myself into making it a 100% thermally-typed letter, pasted up onto the Episode sheet. It’s kind of fun – I may do this for all my December Letters, just to switch it […]
Mail Call: Christmas Card from TC! :D
Below, more Thermal Paper tests, including the Phomemo’s “micro print” feature. 52 or so characters across 2 1/4″ is not bad at all. Pretty readable, too! Currently in the Eyeholes: I saw this film in an elementary school gymnasium back in the mid-70’s, and the “Me and My Arrow” song has lived rent-free in my […]

Experiments Printing Panoramas on the Phomemo M02
May 25, 2000 – I had my first digital camera, a 1996 Canon Powershot 600, and a hankerin’ to experiment. So I took the camera and a tripod out to the backyard of The Monastery and set up for a panorama. Carefully rotating the camera around in a 360 circle and using the self-timer to […]

More Thermal Register Roll tests and Let’s See What’s Inside a Thermal Printer!
Through the back of the paper you can see how the stamp pad ink bleaches the black from the thermal image, leaving red on a light background.
