Layers

At this weekend’s Homebrew Website Club, the topic of Taylor Swift came up (I wonder who brought that up!). One person shared the layers in the song exile; how they became more perceptible with different pieces of audio equipment. The song has layers. Today I have been liste...

The web != the web

I was catching up with some tech news yesterday and while I was listening to a discussion about the latest updates coming from Google and their potential impact on the web I had a sudden realization: when tech reporters say “the web” they don’t mean the web. When these peopl...

Angle down from just above a paper organizer. We can see a variety of blank paper types and sizes filed into the angled slots . In the very back we see a paint chip brush for dusting a typewriter as well as a couple different eraser shields for typing and error correction.
In an effort to slowly improve my analog office proficiency and productivity, I have heeded Lenore Fenton’s advice to have all my supplies organized at my fingertips. Toward that end I’ve picked up this excellent paper organizer for the top desk drawer of my executive tanker desk. This mid-century marvel is perfect for storing a … Continue reading
