Yesterday at the QWERTY Typewriter Festival in Carson, CA, Bryan Mahoney of The Typin' Pint released Issue 01 of his new zine Clack!
I've just finished reading it this morning (from cover to cover, though I admit I haven't finished the crossword yet) and it is truly fantastic! There's so much to love inside its pages. My favorite parts were the poem (who doesn't love a good clown story?!), numbers 9 and 11 of Tom Hanks' "Eleven Reasons to Use a Typewriter" and Sarah Everett's essay about Barbie typewriters which has the cleverest of titles.
It's so jam-packed with typewriter-y and analog goodness that the editor didn't have the space to include a table of contents, so for those who need one, I've typewritten one which I'm including below.
The limited zine release has 500 numbered copies. Brian got the first two copies, Tom Hanks snagged numbers 3, 4, and 5. First in line, I managed to get issue number 6. I saw Michael Hanttula swipe number 7, and Lyn, who had just purchased a lovely duo-toned gray Royal Royalite typewriter moments before, got number 8. Which number(s) will you collect?
Because there really ought to be an issue number 2 and 3, I'm already brainstorming things that I might type up for them. And if somehow that doesn't happen, then they'll just have to go into my own zine...

I was cheering when Max hit the wall with Charles and Lewis on a front row lockout, and George managed to get away with racing hard through the final sector under yellow. Damn! Still, what a result for the Scuderia where they’ve been nowhere all weekend. #F1

I don’t like the “this changes nothing” take. Yeah you were playing your b-team, but you were in a packed stadium on home soil against the worst team in the group that hadn’t scored a goal. You could’ve had a historic group stage performance. Now you’ve got doubt headed into the knockouts. Stupid.

If you are a person that gets carsick when they look at their phone, try out the iOS “Vehicle Motion Cues” feature in Accessibility > Motion. It puts these little dots on the screen when it detects that you’re in the car and it magically eliminates motion sickness. Seriously.

I've just finished reading it this morning (from cover to cover, though I admit I haven't finished the crossword yet) and it is truly fantastic! There's so much to love inside its pages. My favorite parts were the poem (who doesn't love a good clown story?!), numbers 9 and 11 of Tom Hanks' "Eleven Reasons to Use a Typewriter" and Sarah Everett's essay about Barbie typewriters which has the cleverest of titles.
It's so jam-packed with typewriter-y and analog goodness that the editor didn't have the space to include a table of contents, so for those who need one, I've typewritten one which I'm including below.
The limited zine release has 500 numbered copies. Brian got the first two copies, Tom Hanks snagged numbers 3, 4, and 5. First in line, I managed to get issue number 6. I saw Michael Hanttula swipe number 7, and Lyn, who had just purchased a lovely duo-toned gray Royal Royalite typewriter moments before, got number 8. Which number(s) will you collect?
Because there really ought to be an issue number 2 and 3, I'm already brainstorming things that I might type up for them. And if somehow that doesn't happen, then they'll just have to go into my own zine...
