View into the drawer of a metal index card filing cabinet full of tabbed cards and index cards. The section is labeled "Typewriters / Ribbons / Spools" and the tabs are all typewriter related.
How do you keep track of your typewriter collection? Do you keep a simple typewritten list? Do you use a spreadsheet? The Typewriter Database? A period-appropriate card index?  Tags on your machines on the shelves? Via your blog or web page? All of the above? Keep track?!? I enjoy tripping over them all over the … Continue reading

My commute patterns changed dramatically last year and the Eaton Fire catastrophe has decimated the first half of 2025 for me, so I’m trying to get back to my old Huffduffer habits for more focused content consumption versus doomscrolling.

Saw something today that reminded me of MyEdit.com, which was a little web app I built in 2002, for editing notes. That was back when I only had a couple domain names, not dozens.

Software internally is mostly pipes connected to other pipes, each adding a specific quality to whatever passes through it. If you have nice standards for what you send through the pipes, you can do more of what you imagine. This is called orthogonality. Factoring is when you notice a repeating pattern, and give it a name, and a set of things you can do to it, those would be names of pipes. I have to ask ChatGPT what it thinks about this, but I am also asking my human friends. BTW I expect this seems so natural because our minds probably work that way too, internally, below our conscious awareness.

It’s the 2nd of July and this post is going to be about many random things. Over the weekend I was doing some work on this blog—a slightly updated version will go live at some point—and thinking where to put all the various bit of information about the different things I hav...
