This agent has obtained the three primary ingredients of Caffenol film developer in a harrowing and dangerous trip to the corner grocery store. The Washing Soda and Coffee were easy; I picked the cheapest, nastiest instant coffee available – grand total cost for these two ingredients: $7. The Powdered Vitamin C proved trickier. I even […]

Typewriter Database Report: only 7 more galleries left to reach 1000! :D
That’s right, there’s just over a week left until the new year, and the Typewriter Hunters are about to smash through our goal of 1000 typewriter galleries like a football team through a Gatorade banner – probably before Santa saddles up Rudolph for his annual reverse burglary run. Just 7 more to go! In examining […]
977 Typewriter Galleries in, only 23 more to reach 1000!
I just imported 50 records from Michael H’s personal collection database, so we are now at 977 galleries. The race is on for #1000! I was bothered by having the whole front page all be photo-less entries, though, so I changed the query that populates the front page so that it only shows galleries that […]
Shooting Studio, The Typosphere Strikes again, and other thoughts for the new year.
For the new year, I am planning on adding a few data fields to the Typewriter Database: 1) Price Paid (USD) 2) Year Purchased This data will be compiled, but not shown on the individual typewriter galleries. Instead, once there is a sufficient number of data points in there, I am pondering running generalized […]

Well, someone asked, so here’s all of the typeballs in my little plastic font box:

Typewriter Database Report: Some Questions Answered, and a Challenge.
Here’s a challenge: We’re at 874 Typewriter Galleries entered right now. Who thinks we can get to 1000 galleries entered by the official 1-year anniversary of the new Database on January 1?
Fun with a 135mm and macro tubes
Oh Good Lord – Starting down the 35mm Film Path…
Typewriter Database Report: 696 Maunufacturers, 844 Typewriter Galleries, 383 Typewriter Typefaces and 67 Typewriter Hunters!
Right now, I’m still the highest-scoring hunter due to the photo and typesample-rich entries I’ve done, but Nick Beland is hot on my heels and I’m down to just one more typewriter to enter. I sense I will be toppled from the throne soon, now that there actually is a page that counts the scores. […]
