A little while
ago I sat down and spent a good half an hour reshaping my day-to-day life. You may think that’s not an adequate amount of time to do something that is seemingly quite momentous. In my case it is, because a) I am pretty good at rationalising and being honest with myself, and b) I am in possession of what could really only in the most flattering of lights be called a day-to-day life.
As a result of that sit-down, I realised I had to start doing things consistently. I discovered that my problem with ‘getting things done’ was a lack of everyday commitment. Since then I’ve tried to make a conscious effort to spend some appreciable amount of time doing the things I need to do every day without skipping. And you know what? It’s working. As stupid as it sounds, it never ocurred to me that to get things done, you just have to do them.
P.S. Happy Birthday, Mr. Darwin.

From the ’stuff I want’ department, there’s every single one of these typewriters.
For the budding comic artist, there’s Wally Wood’s 22 panels that always work to help you break a flow block. (via Dinosaurs and Robots)
Knitting bacon. Need I say any more? (via The Presurfer)
Some incredible night photography of Japanese factories. Inspires me to go and take some shots of the silos near me. (via BoingBoing)
A musician offers a bunch of different ways to get his latest CD, including the $5,000 “I’ll come and play at your house” package. (via BoingBoing)

Another reason I dislike the Sony Alpha200. It really requires a lot of postprocessing if you don’t want the highlights to blow out. In fact, the dyamic range is the only reason those photos aren’t my desktop, as his composition and framing is fantastic!
I have a smith-corona Sterling, which is “flat” compared to these, but it still makes a good showpiece, and if I could find ribbons for it, I’d fuckin’ use it. Old typewriters are the shit.
Since the SMC is mentioned in Naked Lunch, I consider it a cool addition for a 5 dollar acquisition back in bumfuck 94. Case was included, bonus.
And when did you become a link site? lame. Though I’ll allow my own hypocrisy since I followed your typewriter link.
Nice. I know my sis got an ‘electric typewriter’ at one stage, which was kind of like the bridge between notebooks and typewriters. It was fucking noisy, awful looking, and took forever to set up. And I was ridiculously jealous.
I’m planning on providing snippets and links on a day-to-day basis while I research larger pieces. It’s easy to do and keeps the momentum going so I don’t want to skip a day. And hey, they’re all going to be cool, trust me (;
