We've Come a Long Way From This

I came across a can phone in a creative arts magazine and It got me thinking about technology and communications. This can phone would have been something of a phenomenon in the early days of the telegraph. An entire theory developed around this very artifact which pretty much revolutionized telecommunications. Just think.....two cans and a string!! [Sound waves, signal transduction, converters, physics, etc.] Two Cans and a String!!!

Your Book?? You Don't Have a Book

I love typing on the Royal. The problem is that the best part about typing is the sound of the keys which can get on some peoples nerves....and try lugging one into Starbucks!! You may be asked to leave.

The Flying Oliver

This is the Oliver typewriter that I got from a really cool antique store in Cambridge about 3 years ago. I love the way that it looks. It's very unique (notice the placement of the striking bars) and when you type really fast it looks like it's going to fly off of the table. When I got it, it was so dirty that I didn't even know it was green. It doesn't work as well as my Royal or Corona but I got it for it's aesthetic quality. It's a bit rusty. I couldn't polish it up to complete perfection but it makes for a great conversation piece and it puts me in the writing mood. It took me about a month to clean it up.....best month I'd spent in years!
