Well, I suppose it eventually happens to some of us, and now it’s happened to me. I dropped a typewriter. ): Admittedly, it was a cursed typewriter, one that’s had just about every misfortune an electric typebar machine can have other than a busted belt since I obtained the poor thing. It did work well […]

Well, that was very quick delivery indeed! Thanks, Dave! A few days ago, I was contacted by a fellow who had built a small batch of brand new replacement rechargeable batteries for the Alphasmart Dana/Neo – offering to send a demo unit of the new battery to me for review. He had left his message […]

Hey, look, I think it’s those blossoming cherry trees that people tell me about! The author’s notes, by Ivan Echevarria. Sounds like he’s got perhaps 19 still left in that box, if I got #6. Maybe you’ll get lucky too, if you are Mary’s Correspondent! An example page: Currently in the earholes:

I get unreasonably happy when working on a nice box to send someone, especially when I get to savor it for a couple weeks. The open box lives on the bar, and every so often I’ll make something to drop inside, building the mystery bit by bit… Currently in the earholes:

Typewriters of James Bond 007 – Goldfinger
Actually, now that I stare at it some more, I’m thinking it looks more like a 1964 Electra 110. The arrow label on the front of the keyboard, the carriage knob, the red half-space button.. yeah, that would explain why the front face looks different.
Tape Pals!
