What happens if you write a Substack on a typewriter?
That’s the idea. During the start of 2023 I spoke about the virtue of analog at Philly Typewriter, the world’s premiere typewriter store and community. Bill and the crew kindly send me home with a Smith-Corona Galaxie Twelve typewriter, in mint condition, and stunning baby blue. Here is my way to put it to good use, by whacking out thoughts on the advance of analog, the questions of digital, and what it means to be human today. At least from my perspective.
Each entry is typed without prep or notes, in one pass. I transcribe them, clean up any glaring errors, and then post a photo of the original. Analog, via digital.
