Upcoming Type-In and a Giveaway 1957 Royal Aristocrat!
Weapon of Choice: 1957 Royal Aristocrat. Spring malformed and sliding around. Must trim and form new hook-ends. Re-Install spring, not that it did any good. “Forming” is what we call it, not “bending”. Must be patient and have a light hand on the tool. Okay, so Aristocrats in the late 50’s had an RB prefix, […]

Report from Typewriter Harvest 2018 Type-In
As per usual, I spent my time at the Type-In chatting with folks and occasionally helping the mystified newcomer figure out the carriage return and how to make exclamation points rather than typing anything of substance, but I did try to hit every machine and get an impression off… Some computer generated typewriter art by […]
To Collect and Preserve: An Informative Brochure
I wanted to print up some flyers for the “Cold Hard Type” project to pass out at the next couple of local Type-Ins, and thought “Why stop there? I can make a little brochure/zine to pass out.” So, I whipped up a tri-fold brochure with a bunch of useful info for the new local area […]
It’s Autumn Type-In Season in Phoenix!
2018 has been a great year for Type-Ins, not only in the Phoenix area, but all over the country. The Revolution expands and catches fire everywhere it touches, and burns with a ferocity that cannot be quenched. The romance, utility and flexibility of the Typewriter Life reaches deep into the soul and connects with that […]

8th Phoenix Type-In Report, and an afterparty with the Albuqwerty Type Writer Society
Nice selection of books available at Changing Hands. I didn’t have the “Typewriter Rodeo” one yet, so I got a copy of that one. The typewriters were pretty busy. Although it seemed like there wasn’t much more than 30 people around at once, I noticed that the people seemed to completely change from one hour […]
Second Chandler Type-In Report – Galaxies, Buttons and Commanders, oh my!
Phoenix Type-In for National Typewriter Day, Sunday June 24, 2018 – Even Though NTD is actually on the 23rd
While the Typewriter Day post on The Typosphere blog went neglected after 2014 (but it’s nice to go back and see the videos from 2011), Typewriter Day on June 23rd has still been suitably celebrated across the globe. This year, it appears the Phoenix celebration will happen the day after, on the 24th: I’m a […]
Chandler Type-In – Saturday June 9, 2018
YES! {insert air guitar solo, a really ripping Glenn Branca style cacophony of multi-layered atonal scream backed with tube amplifier harmonics and subsonic bass.} Why am i so happy, you ask? The Quirky Qwerty, previously known as Jeremiah, (but now that he has joined the ranks of the Typosphere, he gets his chosen Typecaster Name, […]

I saw these flyers at the local Typewriter shop, and thought I ought to promote it (:
7th Phoenix Type-In: 3D!
Ephemera Dump: 7th Phoenix Type-In, 2016
Operative Joe has recounted his mission and initial report already from the run he made to PHX from the ABQ. It was excellent meeting our fellow insurgent and sharing the Gospel of St. Christopher Sholes with the peoples of the Republic of First Draft. Many greets and funs were had and the Central Committee agrees […]

The 5th Phoenix Type-In: Squigglyvision and Anaglyphic 3D, Part 1
In order to see the Anaglyphs properly, you’ll need a pair of red/cyan 3D glasses, which you may have if you’ve stolen them from a 3D movie theatre or happen to have a TV that does 3D videos and games: And now, for those of you who don’t have 3D glasses, the same pics in […]
The Fifth Phoenix Type-In: Report and Ephemera
And now, in basically the order I picked them up, are the sheets that were left behind today. Many many more sheets went with people, despite the triplicate copies. A lot of typing happened today, and some of it even made sense. :D Amusingly, there was a fellow that showed up towards the end of […]
Prepping for the 5th Phoenix Type-In: Part One in the Hot, Hot Heat…
Click to embiggen… In other news, I received some research from Peter Weil on Blickensderfers and Hammonds, which resulted in some nice updates for those pages on the Typewriter Database. I’ve also completed the “Non-Noiseless Standards” section of the Remington page (whew) and am now knee-deep in the Noiseless Standards. This did not keep me […]

Thousands of people across the country are spring cleaning, and donating unwanted stuff to thrift stores every day this month – and that means fresh, new […]
