I devote this blog to the convergence between new digital publishing technology and the older methods. I still love old technology as much as I love the possibilities new technologies present.

Because of this, I was happy to find a blog devoted to one person’s quest to buy and restore old typewriters. The most recent post, SM9÷3=? (Also, one year anniversary!!), is a photo journal of the typewriter’s this author has restored, and a journal written on the typewriters themselves.

There are many blogs like this on the internet, but I was fascinated with this one and thought I’d share:

Relating this back to my continuing discussion about marginalia, what does reprinting old typewritten notes online do for our discussion about digital marginalia? If anything, I think it enhances the discussion.
