The blog is back up actually, at <a href="http://www.awkwardengineer.com" rel="nofollow">www.awkwardengineer.com</a>. I also have a second year's worth of material that I started binding into another book. I put some pictures of the work in progress up <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.166418233420446.42729.155089787886624" rel="nofollow">here.</a> I love the typewriter, thanks!<br /><br />-SamAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530331837169839711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-44452796264514201122011-03-27T09:17:39.217-07:002011-03-27T09:17:39.217-07:00Wonderful stories -- and you say you've got an...Wonderful stories -- and you say you've got an IBM Model A? ...Still have it?Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-71284371907109304572011-03-14T17:39:34.461-07:002011-03-14T17:39:34.461-07:00I love the stories of you and Matt.

Did you apprentice with an older technician or pick it up mostly by yourself? Did you always have a connection with these machines or was it just a job at first that gradually became something you grew to love?Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975027530244662003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-86993809596245424342011-03-08T10:54:25.334-08:002011-03-08T10:54:25.334-08:00Wow...love that KMM stamp!

We did a phone interview about three weeks ago. She also talked to Matt the same day.

When you wrote that the SCM was dirtier than it looks in the picture, I found it hard to believe, as it looks TERRIBLE in the picture! :) Nice work cleaning it up.<br /><br />I also like the journaling story. I wonder if the journalist for the NYT story is reading this. She would like that.

It exactly expresses the typewriter's value in the 21st century-- it's a tool that can do something critical that no digital tool can manage-- improve your writing by improving your focus.Strikethruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797111328778577303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-3972877511180272232011-03-06T15:07:19.070-08:002011-03-06T15:07:19.070-08:00Love this blog, Tom.
