Strikethru trainwreck

Every blog trainwrecks at some point. Mine jumped the tracks earlier this year, somewhere near the intersection of work, grad school, parenthood, and pregnancy, which left me in a totally typewriter-free state of driving constantly around town to a series of meetings, classes, and appointments.

These facts being what they are, I have undertaken a Speeglesque challenge: to finish Silent Type 2 within the next three weeks. For after this time, my every earthly second will be spoken for around the clock for months.

Wish me luck.

Munk.org posts Hermes 3000 typewriter manual

Munk.org has posted a high-quality scan of a Hermes 3000 manual along with some interesting thoughts about using typewriters. Great post, check it out.

People who take the time to scan and post manuals help a lot of other folks out, so if you have one lying around, get it online! I've only scanned two but have a few more I need to work on...
