I feel like I’ve been doing a decent enough job with this blog since launching it late last year. Sure, I realize that it hasn’t really been all that long, but it has been long enough that I can detect certain differences since I first started off. Because of this, I’ve known for a little […]

I wrote my first typewriter review the other day. It’s also likely to be my last typewriter review as well. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. (I have never really been all that crazy about this particular saying, but in this case it definitely fits.) The actual writing experience itself is still a
Occasionally I’ll want to do some writing and share it with the world, but it’s not exactly fitting for this blog. After all, I do think about things other than typewriters from time to time. The thought of creating another blog has crossed my mind, but that’s not really necessary thanks to One Typed Page, the

I can’t recall if I’ve mentioned it specifically before here on The Typewritemosphere, but it is probably worth noting that I am not “anti-technology”. Just because I am a typewriter enthusiast, I do not deplore technology. While I do feel that our society has suffered a certain amount of degradation thanks to an overabundance of
The idyllic wintertime scene that I painted for you in my last entry quickly turned into something less than ideal when we lost power to our house the very next day (Valentine’s Day). The snow that I wrote about was followed by freezing rain, which ultimately proved to be too much for the power lines

I currently find myself in a near ideal typing environment at this moment in time. Like so many other places around the country, Portland has been getting some snow. So l’ve moved one of my typewriters upstairs to the dining room so that I can catch glimpses of the snow between thoughts, all while I
Most people associate Thomas Edison with the light bulb despite the fact that he wasn’t the inventor of this device. What Mr. Edison did was to salvage a good idea and make it great. So it goes with Ted Munk and the Typewriter Database. While Ted wasn’t the original creator, he is the one who salvaged

I’m sitting inside of a 1930’s Steiner log cabin located in the Mount Hood National Forest as I type this entry. While the house that my family and I live in is actually older (it was built in the early 1920’s), few comparing the two structures would likely guess that this is the case. This

As someone who deals with multiple sleep disorders, I often find myself up at all hours of the night (or early in the morning, depending on your perspective). I’ll try not to bore anyone with the myriad of details, but one of the issues that I contend with is chronic pain brought on by problems

I first discovered Joe Van Cleave under the same circumstances that so many others have — I was searching for information on typewriters. My curiosity about typewriters was still in the earliest stages back then. Unlike most of the other resources that I was locating at that point in time, Joe’s content kept popping up in
