Xavier University’s Newswire just published a story about the “street typing” I’ve done with my colleague Tyrone Williams. We did it once in the spring (here’s my account), and again recently. This is a fine story except for the technical error “there are no backspace keys on a typewriter”; the reporter means “delete keys,” of course. Click on the image to enlarge it.
Awesome! I bet it's a lot easier to sit at a little table with a typewriter offering to compose things for strangers when you have a typin' buddy along for the ride.. (:
Great! Have any of the students picked up a typewriter and given it a try?
Brilliant!
Yes, it's definitely good for morale!
I don't know if there's been any such direct effect of these events, but I know they have created some buzz and curiosity.
Great to see!
Excellent!
This is beyond cool. Maybe someday I’ll try on campus.
What typewriters were you both using? (Just curious.)
Great. I highly recommend it.
I used a green '30s Underwood Champion portable, and I lent Ty my Sterling Silver Surfer.
Hello, here my long-term film project, a tribute to Wayne Wang ("Smoke" movie), now more than 725 photos from the same place in 3 years. A perfect companion for my "The Typewriter Boy" blog. https://cento-volte-in-piazza-volta.blogspot.com/
