Small but *very dense* with mid-oughties quality components. Dunno if the white DVD drive is a later replacement or what. Now that I ponder it, tho – the model number is “2DVDN80G” which suggests it was originally equipped with just *2* burners, with the third one added later as an upgrade. That also suggests that […]

The stamps scanned above have gold and silver metallic embedded art, but my scanner renders anything reflective as black, so there ya are. /: Currently in the earholes: (sometimes yah brain gotta take a hard left turn into silliness after a dream like Episode 16…) Ha! Just kidding, I’m actually listening to this, which is […]

Well, I guess I broke the seal on Season Two… Currently in the earholes:

Welp, that oughta keep ya’all in Thermosnaps for awhile! Flyin’ High & Chilly! :D This shot was printed on the back of the other one, faded and translucent on the Canon-branded side. Very interesting effect! Currently in the earholes:

Streaming services aren’t likely to carry time capsule films like this turn-o-the-century classic PLUR-raver indie – “Groove“, “Scratch“, “Better Living Through Circuitry” – none of that is likely to show up on streaming. I have the DVDs, tho, so now it’s on my LAN streaming server! Rippin’ the DVDs! I’ve also got a bunch of […]

Photos of a hat, because Correspondent didn’t take pics before sending. (: This one might be the phattest Seven Left Hands of God I’ve sent out yet. Clocked in at *exactly* 2oz without the Butterfly & Schoolbus stamps, so if they say it’s over weight, I’ll claim that it was technically exact if they didn’t […]

My favorite Pentaxen! Seven Reverend Heads – Groovy! :D Neil sends an Origami Puppy! (: So, when my Vogue 10 ball broke the other day, I sent a report to Austin Selectric Rescue. By the next day, Dave had replicated the issue and worked up a new strengthened design for the center ring and drive […]

And don’t think for a moment that I didn’t notice the 3D Lenticular postage stamp that our Correspondent used. I can see she is reading the blog! :D These are the boxes that our Correspondent uses to store her, um, *dozens* of different stationery selections. I am confident now that I will never see the […]

Typewriter Club LIVE: 2023-10-22 Heh, still got this computer too, even still works, but needs new caps and a fresh PSU. Screen gets all jangly when the floppy drive accesses. Also, note the 300 baud Radio Shack “Slap Modem” – no auto negotiation, you waited till you heard the screetch from the box and you […]

Well, the fun ideas keep bouncing around the Typosphere! Joe is now mixing the idea of Stereograms with the thermal printing cameras to make 3D Thermal Stereograms, which I of course had to see if I could get working with my viewer, because my brain doesn’t do the crosseyed 3D thing, magic eye stereograms don’t […]

Weapon of Choice: 1986 Canon Typestar 4 #Q12013213 Crude, punk-rock pasteup onto A5 sheets, I would’ve drowned a kitten for a setup like this in 1986 to make flyers & zines. This setup and a Xerox machine and me woulda been fast friends! :D Workflow-wise, I’ve learned that it’s best to do your imaging, alcohol […]

I found that if you get too aggressive with the bleaching, especially with a highlighter, the Thermal properties of the paper *can* be affected, so it’s an artform of restraint. (:

Weapon of Choice: 1986 Canon Typestar 4 #Q12013213 I noted that at least 2 of my stamp pad inkers use an ink that when stamped on a thermal sheet, eventually soaks in over a couple of hours and bleached the black out of the image where the ink sinks in, leaving that stamp on white […]

The ribbon shield installed on the Varityper 110. Ribbon shield cut & marked for folding I used a hole punch to make the hole the hammer goes through, but if I were to do it right, I’d exactly measure and cut a thinner rectangle that is *just* big enough for the hammer to pass. That […]

New run of Austin Selectric Rescue’s 3D Printed Elements. I ordered TWO, and he sent me EIGHT. Heh, I haven’t touched my typebar machines in weeks, it feels like. Been busy typing with my Selectrics and the VariTyper so much – seems unlikely that’ll stop soon given how many elements I need to put a […]
