ARTCIPHER NUMBER FOUR
Weapon of Choice: “Dr. Lizardo” 1973 IBM Selectric II #26 1220365 Beguiled by the beauty of the Calligraphy typeball, I neglected to switch into encryption mode for Number 4.

Mystery Service Manuals On The Way & Some Royal Delights
Weapon of Choice: 1941 Royal Companion #CD-226351 Whoops, the Margin Release linkage came out of the hole in the Center Stop paddle.

The NT&OMDA dropped […]
Robot, I May Be Asking You To IMAGINE, but I Really Mean “Prove To Me That You Can’t”
Weapon of Choice: “Uncanny Valley” 2022 Midjourney Roboto BSAN Yeah – not exactly what I’m looking for. It’s kinda fez-like, but strong Jackie O vibes, and if that’s the best you can do, then you don’t know what one is.. There we go – no robot can steal as well as a human with Photoshop. […]

Time to make improvements to the back cover of the EDCN! (: Weapon of Choice: “Moneypenny” 1948 Royal Quiet De Luxe #A-1551567 I want the back cover to fold back flat and offer more room to store typed-on pages, so we need to add a single-bend, 1/2″ section to the bind end and re-punch. Bonus: […]
