Retrotech art, typecon, Alphasmart easter eggs, Wikipedia


I like Christopher Stott's paintings - esp. those of retrotech.

This is a hoax. Right? I could not get it to work.

Some of you guys were talking about Typecon over in Flickr. I can't seem to determine if this would contain anything of interest to typecasters, or whether it is just an industry event for typesetters. Anyone know more?

Speaking of Wikipedia, I was thinking one of us should do an entry on typecasting. Much to my surprise, one is already there. My name is in the footnotes...‽ I think we need to get a whole list of typecasters on there, so someone head over to Wikipedia and start editing.

I think the Easter Egg works on the original model, but not later ones (scroll up in the Wiki entry for the first model.) I haven't checked to see if the calculator is available on the Pro or not (my model.)

Not all of us are famous radio-celebrity types. I usually defer to Richard Polt's site for the typecaster list, or your own blogroll.

Well, I guess we can say we've finally arrived - being on Wikipedia and all. Typecasting, defined!

I'm a little weepy.

Now it's your turn for 15kb of fame. :-)

I think it's funny that under "See Also" is "Model M Keyboard".

Need to sneak into Wiki and create an "Anablogging" entry. I don't have all those cool Wiki editing creds.

Came back to check out the Christopher Stott link. Good stuff! And the prints in his Etsy store are remarkably affordable!

Yes, the Stott paintings are just amazing, aren't they?
