Mail Call: Every Package is an Adventure!
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:
Turning an old laptop into a home streaming server using JellyFin!
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 […]
A Lament Over the Passing of my Spinning Rust
One of the surviving drives is a 40g with a very old Ubuntu/LAMP Stack installed on it, last running in a 200mhz Pentium 1 in 2010, according to the label. It is my original FreeCIV 2.2 server, back when I was developing web integration tools for that version and running the server tunneling through my […]
Mail Call: Silk Havana Jacks gets a nice fat 7 Left Hands Of God!
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 […]
Mail Call: Florida Man send greetings from Michigan, Fauxtography, and a Design Fix for the 3D Printed Typeballs
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 […]

Mail Call: A Letter & Postcard in, and Three Letters Out!
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 […]

Mail Call: The Guth stretches my Stationery Selection, TCL and some Typing Without Purpose.
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 […]
Mail Call: Broken Typeballs? More 3D Thermalvision!
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 […]
Mail Call: This Movie’s For The Dogs! :D
Stereograms from old Japan? Yes, Thank You! :D

Thermal Madness: Testing the Modes and Settling on a Workflow
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 […]
Mail Call: Two Letters and Thermal Madness!
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. (:
Thermal Typewriting on Thermally Printed Photos!
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 […]

Mail Call & Home Made Varityper Ribbon Shields
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 […]
US Government Vogue – since Vogue is All The Rage, so Oblique and Demibold, anyone?
From: “1950 – Specimens of Type Faces in the United States Government Printing Office” Heh, don’t judge me about the weird things I read. :D Until now, I was not aware that there was a version of Vogue that was made for letterpress work. It was made by the Intertype foundry and was used by […]
Mail Call: Moar Selectric 3D Printed Elements and MUSIC! :D
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 […]

Coxhead] Picked this one up from Mesa Typewriter Exchange’s back parts machine room, covered in 30 years of grime.

A Suggestion for a New Background?
The SquigglyVision Version The Nishika N8000 3D 35mm Camera Bonus story snippet from Trent, “Batman’s F***ing Typewriter” (NSFC) Or maybe I replace the Itek with this entry from the “Pieces of Other People’s Lives” Series.
