There is an annual art event that takes place in Grand Rapid, MI. There are all kinds of artists and art. Last night while we watched the evening news on WOOD-TV they featured a typist: William Davis, an artist who types poems while you wait on a Sears Ciitation.
Here's a link to the video:

Blogger is at it again. I hope this works this time.
I should have said Scribed from by IBM Selectric-II Scribe element.
Getting ready for some typing in the park.
Post Script. I should not have one typo with a correcting Selectric-II, if I read what I type as I type!
Well as usual my digital imaging device left me down, but there is an advantage. If I'd have grabbed my 35mm or any of my film cameras I would not have been able to record the video. My OMD however does not use film so there is no, zip, none, nothing, footage. There ..read more

Seems things were corrected overnight. I noticed WP blogs were not affected. I did not know if or how to notify the bloggers I follow except to try and comment and post on mine, which would probably not be seen on some of the browsers.
In any case Blogger users would have found them locked out of their own blog unless they used an encrypted browser like Tor.
There is one advantage to social media; I could have sent a message to those bloggers which would be on my social media account ..read more

I've tried to comment on blogs I follow that Mozilla and Google are blocking every blog as a deceptive site. I notified Mozilla via their banners. You may want to do do the same. That is if my blog post works. It may be Google's way to kill blogger ..read more

Exchanging the feets took all of about 10 minutes.
Making this post I've got about 2 hours of trying to figure out the crappy Blogger changes. So far Blogger improvements, like most software 'improvements' is nothing but crap. I'll be nice and not describe things as I usually do off line or like when I was in radio..when the microphone is off.
More blogger bs. I thought one quick post since I'm still not over on WP yet. I've been to busy with other things over this past year to post even though I thought I'd have plenty of time to post during the pandemic.
First ..read more

We've been watching the total series of one of my favorite shows from my childhood, The Twilight Zone.
I checked on line news, and found a photo of Rod Sterling at his typewriter.

As far as blogging... I'm getting a round toit. Too many electronics and radio projects during the last quarter of 2020. Maybe in 2021 I'll get things moved to WordPress.
Happy New Year to everybody ..read more

Rhodiarama on left and Webnotes on right.
Sorry for the usual typos. One day I'll not make any.
I generally don't choose soft cover notebooks or journals larger than pocket size, but I do like this one even better than the hardbound. You'll see why later.
Both this Webnotes as well as the Rhodiarama have a soft-touch to the texture of the covering on the cover, but this one leaves a lot to be desired of a quality cover.
This paper is nice to write upon with any pen I tried, even pencil. Very smooth. I meant shadowing as ..read more
