        "text": "Hank Green and Ze Frank talking about creativity (among other things). Some tidbits from the podcast: \n\n\n\n\nThis question of where ideas come from, I think it\u2019s central to my life and certainly a lot of other creative people. And I think that the importance often comes from some sort of an urgency that we have to not only have ideas, but to have ideas that feel like you. In addition to that, it\u2019s like there\u2019s one thing to have an idea, but then there\u2019s another thing to decide to make it, you know, birth it.\n\n\n\nYou know, I don\u2019t know how it plays out in your mind, but I have a lot of thoughts and have a lot of ideas and there\u2019s a lot of possibilities and you do have to kind of like feel them and feel what the possibility space is around them, you know?\n\n\n\nThat\u2019s something that I think you get better at over a creative life is having an instinct for the shape of an idea and whether or not it has the qualities that you know are going to mature into something or kind of allow you to play around in a way that feels right. Yeah. So, you know, in a lot of cases I\u2019ll sit on stuff for years even because I don\u2019t have the shape of the thing.\nZe Frank\n\n\n\n\nAlso:\n\n\n\n\nZe: For me personally, I actually feel like I want to make things that are uncomfortable.\n\n\n\nHank: Do you want to make things that are uncomfortable for you?\n\n\n\nZe: For me to make, you know, generally that there\u2019s stuff that kind of comes easy to you. And this is, you know, everybody knows this is that, you know, you get frustrated with people for not doing the stuff that they can just do, right? Um, and yours is sort of like, you know, make another funny thing.\n\n\n\nHank: Come on. Like, play the hits.\n\n\n\nZe: Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I think that making things is about becoming. That\u2019s the joy of it is is that you you see something develop and birth. You feel yourself getting better through the struggle. You feel like some kind of emergence that happened like there\u2019s a journey. And um comfort to me is usually a sign that you\u2019re off from the meat of it.\n\n\n\n\n(The quotes are pulled from Youtube\u2019s auto-transcript mode, so apologies for any grammar errors.)",

How could I not pick up his avocado beauty at Acts Thrift for $17.36?! A day's worth of cleaning ought to bring this bad boy up to snuff. I'm most shocked at the fantastic design of its case. This is a re-branded Messa typewriter manufactured in Portugal with other known re-badgings as the ABC 3001 and the Brother XL-1016. These were made/advertised from 1971 to 1974, but based on the serial numbers in the Typewriter Database, I would suspect mine is from the early side of 1971. (It's entirely possible they made the entire run in a year and sold them through 1974.) Including this one there are currently only seven exemplars in the database, but many of them are owned by some of the most prolific collectors. With my 52nd birthday coming up this may be one of the youngest machines I own, though it's still a few years older than me. And how could you possibly not love the green typebar jam release key? The only thing that could be cooler would be to have versions in harvest yellow, burnt orange, and coppertone brown. I'll have to get my old Tupperware set out to properly show this off. Manual available on Richard Polt's site. I've already fixed/adjusted most of the primary issues and done a little bit of the work to clean this out. I should be able to finish up the rest of it over the long weekend with the exception of one or two screws that I can tell are missing and need replacements. Portions of the case are going to require some attention as well. oblique angle onto the front left corner of a Sears Newport typewriter there's a button on the corner of the hood that reads "TOUCH"

The Verge Dbrand cancels Companion Cube because it didn’t actually ask Valve for permission | The Verge Dbrand is refunding everyone who bought its Steam Machine Companion Cube, which it said it made “without a license...

The Verge reports on (yet another) bizarre decision by dbrand.

dbrand announced Monday that it’s refunding everyone who bought its Steam Machine Companion Cube, which it said it made “without a license from Valve.”

Apparently they had racked up enough pre-orders to make the product the second-fastest selling product in their history. Yikes.

Typed 4 x 6" index card in the carriage of a grey typewriter with black/red ribbon. The card reads: "Little known fact: Typewriter manufacturers didnt put an explicit exclamation key on their machines because they felt that anything worth of the expression ought to be truly created de novo and hand crafted. Thus you're required to put the extra emphasis by typing out your period followed by the backspace and then an apostrophe! Of course if you take the widdershins philosophy, for added emphasis you can first type out the apostrophe followed by the backspace and finally the period. This method provides a little bit more finality and emphasis for when you really mean it!!!

Yesterday at the QWERTY Typewriter Festival in Carson, CA, Bryan Mahoney of The Typin' Pint released Issue 01 of his new zine Clack! Bryan Mahoney and his wife at a booth selling the first issue of Clack! Over their heads is a large sign that says "Newsstand" and the front of the stand is festooned with issue No. 1

Bryan Mahoney and his wife at a booth selling the first issue of Clack! Over their heads is a large sign that says "Newsstand" and the front of the stand is festooned with issue No. 1

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. Typewritten index card with page numbers and contents next to a small sticker.

Typewritten index card with page numbers and contents next to a small sticker.

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... Close up of the front cover of Clack! Issue No. 1
