Very nice post and nice typewriter ! Could I kindly ask you to add a link to my typecast/typweriters blog too ? it is 9.ai (pretty simple to type :) ) obviously I did add you on my blog already ! Thanks David
Haha, yeah, programming syntax is quite harsh. I've had my days chewed up by a stray comma, semi-colon and even a space...ugh!
I think you touched on one of my reasons why I write and that is ego. Being able to say, yeah, I wrote THAT book or bragging to a close friend...its not the most glamorous reason, but sometimes the truth is anything but glamorous.
Very nice entry! I can relate to the misplaced comma and missing semicolon thing, but my thing always seems to be using "=" where "==" is supposed to go (assignment instead of comparison) and spending more time than I ought to trying to figure out why it always evaluates true. :P
BTW, isn't the SC Skyriter just the perfect laptop typer? I love it to bits despite the fact that it smells funny and has a lousy carriage return lever.
Yeah, what you said. Loved this, Mike. I'll just say "Amen" to pretty much everything. Which, maybe, gets me out of writing a "Why I Write" of my own, which is good 'cause a) as I've been told, I write about this subject too much already, and b) it's been a nutsy week (I originally wrote busny, which may also be true) and my brain isn't working. Hence my last two blog pots being total cop-outs. Ungh.
Oh, and I particularly like the artsy fisheye sorta shot of the Remington. Very creative.
Nice presentation, sir. I don't have the sanity to make such a collage as you have. (At this point I haven't even responded to Deek's admonition yet, anyway. What a slacker I can be.)

"One of the great tragedies of adulthood is the infinite niddling consequences that fall out of your every act."
I think I'll type this out and stick it up somewhere.
