You said the difference between your commonplace and a Zettelkasten was form and binding? Could you expand on your set up/process? It looks like your cards are loose like a zettel, but I do see a to-do tab which isn’t zettel-y.
reply to u/LowkeyHooligan at https://reddit.com/r/commonplacebook/comments/1gdpiis/space_for_a_commonplace/
I'm not talking about my specific practice but commonplacing and Zettelkasten writ large. Early users of slips in the tradition of ars excerpendi were commonplacing, they were just putting their excerpts onto slips (or scraps) of paper rather than in a notebook. Far too many think the idea of Zettelkasten was "invented" by Niklas Luhmann when in fact the tradition goes back to at least Konrad Gessner in the 16th century. There was absolutely nothing innovative about Luhmann's Zettelkasten—even his numbering system was widely used by the mid 1910s. Early Zettelkasten (aka card indexes in English) were commonplaces, just done on slips of paper rather than bound "slips" in book format.
The more recent "Zettelkasten Method" practitioners, (roughly after June 2013) have largely omitted the centuries-long intellectual history of their practice and are guilty of too much Luhmann worship. On the other hand, they hew heavily toward the minimalist approach and don't decorate their work with stickers, drawings, or other art which seems to have come into fashion in the social media era. This is what I would call "drolleries on acid" without the benefit of knowing about the tradition of ars memoria.
My practice with these goes well beyond commonplacing. Most early 20th century card indexes were used for a variety of purposes beyond commonplacing too including indexing, tickler files, databases, rolodexes, etc. What you're describing sounds more like my modified Memindex practice (https://boffosocko.com/2023/03/09/the-memindex-method-an-early-precursor-of-the-memex-hipster-pda-43-folders-gtd-basb-and-bullet-journal-systems/). You'll find more on my particular practice and the historical practices of others at: https://boffosocko.com/research/zettelkasten-commonplace-books-and-note-taking-collection/

colours can be used to differentiatebetwreen various classes of possible customers.
-
The districts visited by different travellerscan be kept distinct, and to prevent the possibility ofmisfiling a colour, distinction can be introduced.
-
ageographical arrangement of the cards will be necessary.
-
Each day, the cards under the day's date aretaken out, attended to and put back under the datewhen they will next require attention, with the resultthat no matter of importance is overlooked, and yet
the mind is relieved from the strain of attempting to recollect innumerable details.
Similar to the idea of a Memindex which was contemporaneous.
-
Example of a follow up card for a business.
-
If newspaper advertising has been employed, ananalysis of these returns will show the exact advertisingcost per order, and the relative value of different adver-tising media.
-
A better method is toarrange the cards alphabetically and rely on the assist-ance of signals to indicate the days on which they are toreceive attention.
By signals, he means flags (perhaps colored) attached to an individual card to mean something specific for potential follow up, for example: a date or day of the week.
-
A decreased turnoverwith a particular customer must have some cause.
The card index system is certainly an early form of customer relationship management (CRM).
What are the 1-1 details that it has (as described in this book or Kaiser's) and modern versions? - contact information<br /> - detailed notes about interactions and history<br /> - follow up / reminder features<br /> - Others??
-
In no other form and under noother system could the same information be registered,with as small an expenditure of time and trouble, andwith the same certainty of its attracting attention.
-
or a reminder tray.
This may be done either by means of a follow-up cabinet
-
Nosystem can be made fool-proof, but the object shouldbe to make it as near fool-proof as possible on theside where error can work most harm.
-
as it grows older a press cutting has a tendencyto increase in interest and value. With correspondencethe exact opposite is the case. To file the two together istherefore illogical.
-
To indicate subjects requiringindex cards, when answering a letter, it is only necessaryto circle the essential words with a blue pencil,
-
Such letters should therefore be not merelyindexed under the name of the writer, but a second andpossibly a third and fourth card should be made outunder subject or place.
-
A certain type of clerk, if given a free hand, will indexfor the sake of indexing, apparently under the impressionthat the value of his work is to be judged by the numberof cards used. Such misplaced energy should of coursebe repressed at once, as the multiplication of uselesscards is a hindrance rather than a help.
A similar disease can be seen in electronic tagging systems of some PKM people...
-
Numerical Arrangement.
Byles lays out a consecutive numbering system for correspondence folders.
-
press copy
aka carbon copy via different technology
-
A file based on thecard index system is, on the other hand, a satisfactoryand economical system of dealing with every sort ofmaterial, and is moreover a thing alive, ready at alltimes to place at the disposal of those who consult itall that information which in the past was regardedas the special attribute of the man of long experience.
esp. note the idea of it being alive
begs the question of what "alive" means....
-
The card systemis a " one-place " system.
How does the "one-place" system work with respect to the idea of "multiple storage"?
What about cross-indexing?
-
The card index, on the other hand,allows for unlimited expansion.
In contrast to, for example, an address book which is not reorderable (easily).
-
the cardindex suggests finality
-
It would be un-grateful not to acknowledge with appreciation theobligation owed to the publishers of that most excellentbusiness magazine, " System/' from the pages of whichanyone interested in modern business methods mustinevitably derive some inspiration.
-
Roughly speaking, the world is divided into two classes :those who use the Card Index System and those whodo not.
HA!
I wonder where this trope started?

NYT helped fuel trans controversy, analysis finds<br /> by [[Christopher Wiggins]] in The Advocate<br /> accessed on 2026-06-24T09:52:19
-
“Among the major news outlets we tracked, the Times had by far the most stories mentioning the trans community, and the lowest percentage of stories that quoted a trans person,” Assigned Media editor Evan Urquhart wrote.
-
Caraballo’s report argues that the issue extends beyond sourcing. It says the Times increasingly moved away from stories about transgender people’s lives, culture, arts, and ordinary experiences, and toward stories about legislation, lawsuits, medical controversies, and political conflicts.
-
Readers can see for themselves the depth of our coverage on gender identity.”
And how many individual readers are going to spend the time and effort to do this analysis. Rhoades Ha knows this and naturally pushes back when a particular reader happens to have done this analysis.
-
The problem, she said, was not always factual error, but the cumulative effect of framing, story selection, and prominence.

Why MAGA buys Trump’s Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool hoax - Salon.com<br /> by [[Amanda Marcotte]]<br /> accessed on 2026-06-24T08:47:31

"I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party," Carlson said, adding that the GOP has "betrayed" voters by prioritizing Israel's national security over America's."How could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States. That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens. It's not possible to vote for people like that, and I'm not going to."

A 1950s Smith-Corona “Eighty-Eight” Secretarial model, this typewriter was purchased at Byers Office Equipment Co. in Ames.In 1955, Mer Byers established Byers Office Equipment at 126 Main Street in Ames. Art Taylor purchased the company in 1957 and operated it with his son Paul. Around 1963, the business moved to 417 Main Street.By the 1960s, the company offered machine rentals and repair along with new and used models of typewriters, calculators, and adding machines. The showroom also featured office drapery options and furniture. At its peak, Byers Office Equipment Co. served a seven county area with 65% of sales taking place outside of Ames.In 1973, the name changed to Taylor Office Equipment Inc., and operations moved to a new, larger space at 705 East Lincoln Way. The business continued to serve Ames and surrounding area through the early 1990s.

reply to u/patsy_dragon at https://reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1ucl6lx/is_this_typewriter_seller_legit_plz_help/ re: classictypewriter.com
It's Steven Budden, Jr. out of North Carolina who has been in the space for several years. I suspect that his prices are higher than most because it looks like he's offering a higher level of (bespoke) service than the blow and go C/O/A that many repair shops are offering in the $350-550 range. It looks more like he's doing actual restorations rather than simpler refurbishments with a clean, oil, and adjust. Prior to buying, I'd want to have a direct conversation about what level of service he's offering to these machines? Is it a full restoration? Or just refurbishing with all new rubber? The metal work and brights on his machines seem to indicate he's doing way more work than one typically sees in the overall space. (See: https://typecast.munk.org/2023/04/24/how-to-properly-describe-the-condition-of-a-typewriter/)
I'm vaguely concerned that he's not got himself listed on Polt's repair list at https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-repair.html, but as he looks like he's mostly doing higher end custom work, he may be trying to avoid the drive by day-to-day repair work and ribbon swaps that is the bread and butter of most shops. His socials seem to indicate this is a side job and he has another career(s).
If you're concerned, call him up and see what's going on beyond the website. You can also comparison shop using Richard Polt's repair list as well.

JD Vance Confirms Iran Will Get Jaw-Dropping Sum Under Trump Deal<br /> by [[Hafiz Rashid]] | The New Republic<br /> accessed on 2026-06-15T22:20:13
-
Vance’s admission contradicts what he said on Friday, when he claimed in an X post that Iran would not be “receiving any cash, and no funds are being released simply for signing a deal or attending a meeting.” In addition to the U.S. and its allies paying $300 billion in reconstruction funds, Iran reports that the U.S. has agreed to release $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets.
So somehow this (on top of all the losses and multiple billions in costs of the war and economic problems) is better than the Obama nuclear deal? WTF?
-
Conservatives, including Trump and Vance, have long criticized the Obama administration’s 2015 nuclear deal, which involved the U.S. lifting sanctions and sending Iran $1.7 billion to settle decades-old failed contracts between the two countries. That deal was also succeeding, with international observers stating that Iran was adhering to all its nuclear terms. It was Trump who decided to break it in his first term and then start a war with Iran in his second.

Should I drop $99 on student discounted access to Final Draft for industry standard formatting?
Why buy into a "system", much less one with recurring costs? Formatting a script is the lowest bar in the space. A third grader could easily do this.
Even a vintage typewriter with a pica typeface will allow you to set margins, a few tabs, and you're on your way. It's the writing that's the tough part. Spend your time and energy on this part where it really belongs. Software isn't going to suddenly add creativity, emotion, or verve to your work. The "industry standard" of unsold and unproduced screenplays is the one you really want to worry about.
Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder, Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, William Golding, Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola, Paddy Chayefsky, Robert Towne, Frank Pierson, and Steve Tesich all have something in common: they won Academy Awards for best original screenplay without using screenplay software. Why couldn't you? Why shouldn't you?!?

reply to u/someblokeonhere at https://www.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1u4ftix/which_typewriter_had_the_best_font/
The vast majority of typewriters were sold with a traditional mono-spaced Courier-like face in either pica or elite pitch (often with incredibly generic names like "Royal Pica" or "Royal Elite". Usually for about $5 (on what was often a $100 purchase which is about $1,000 in today's money), you could custom select an alternate face which was often marketed as a way to make your correspondence more personalized. They tried to make it a selling point, but I suspect it wasn't much of one in actual practice, particularly at that mark up. Many companies sold an "Executive" typeface that was often in italic as a means of differentiating typewriters meant for executives rather than the standard faces secretaries used.
Lots of alternate faces were manufactured for specific purposes like banking, accounting, speechwriting, and schools and those were sold as selling points for those markets. Other related features like keysets and special characters were marketed at pharmacists, doctors, engineers/mathematicians/scientists, and libraries.
If you create an account on the typewriter database you'll see options in the main menu for downloading full versions of a variety of typographical catalogs. Ted Munk also has (lesser) photo scans of some of these on his blog.

For the Sears Holiday Petite Child’s toy typewriter. Spools are 4cm in diameter, and 1 cm width. Uses a fabric 0.6mm ribbon.

I suspect they meant 6mm width on the fabric ribbon?

Opinion - A Defense of a Liberal Arts Education in the Age of A.I.<br /> by [[Ross Douthat]], [[Victoria Chamberlin]], [[jennSophia Alvarez Boyd]] - The New York Times<br /> accessed on 2026-06-11T16:57:08
-
What I remind them of, in very clear terms, is that if they outsource their thinking, they’re simply outsourcing their own humanity.
-
So, I think I’ll worry more about A.I. when it can index my book.
-
Students have no sense that their education is anything other than this externalized instrumental means to an end. We have to look at how to recover that first.
-
The civic center movement is a relatively new movement.
-
Let us remember that it was the Obama administration that rolled out the scorecard of majors. So this kind of utilitarian push is, I believe, bipartisan.
-
studiousness, which has nothing to do with hitting the books. “Studiositas” is sort of like cultivated attention, like training that desire to know so that it’s focused on the good stuff as opposed to looking at TikTok for five hours a day.
-
And we forget that the Greek word, the root for “school,” is leisure.But leisure is not idleness or amusement. And it’s definitely not just resting up so you can get back to work. It is that space that we need to set aside to cultivate the highest parts of us.
leisure vs. entertainment vs. work vs. occupation vs. labor
-
But I think there’s a remarkable kind of red thread running through all of that, which is this idea that there is something really essential and important, not just to individuals, but to culture and society, in having something that is more than an education that we would call professional, and that they would call servile.
-
let’s just take Great Books education for example. You find Great Books education in community colleges. You find Great Books education, still, completely outside of institutions of higher education. You find Great Books education in certain high schools.I think these things don’t necessarily have to be luxury goods. And I think it’s a choice that we make, politically, to say that they are. We can debate that choice, but that’s just a choice that we have.
-
If you’re going to read a Dan Brown novel, it’s very difficult to imagine having sustained conversations about Dan Brown novels over years. It’s quite easy to imagine doing that with Shakespeare. I do that. It’s just so rich.And so I think we should not shy away from saying that. There is a kind of depth in great art that demands our attention in a way that is absent in Dan Brown.
-
that cultivating the life of the mind is a basic human need.
-
but it’s really striking to read about the role that the liberal arts played in these large-scale working class communities in the past.
Is Douthat aware of the broader background and playing a bit of devil's advocate here?
-
Douthat: But then isn’t there an argument, a critique of the humanities, that says that intellectual mentality and the eugenic mentality could fit together pretty naturally? It’s like: OK, to be human is to appreciate Bach and Plato, and only our smartest university students do that, so only they’re fully human — and so on down the eugenicist argument.
Douthat buys into the idea that you have to be "smart" to appreciate the humanities or the great books.
Didn't Mortimer J. Adler spend a large chunk of his life trying to convince "everyman" that they could appreciate Plato and Aristotle?
-
When you look at a culture, and you want to ask yourself: “Well, how did we go from Weimar Germany to Nazism?” Obviously, education is going to be a part of that, but it’s not in any way going to be the whole of it.
One of the same front, Catholics seem to be big in America behind the Great Books and classical education, yet also seem to be a large group of conservatives behind MAGA/Trumpism.
-
you also have to recognize that there is an ineliminable element of human freedom in education.
Nazis despite a humanistic education....
Is the link that Douthat a real one?
-
The Greeks would call it paideia. The Germans would call it Bildung. I might just call it liberal education or liberal learning, but it’s all the same sort of thing. It’s about what is it to contribute to and live in a flourishing human society?
-
I share your view that the purported death of literacy is a tragedy.

reply to u/Beloved-21 at https://old.reddit.com/r/Zettelkasten/comments/1u2bw2s/index_cards_vs_digital_note_app/
There are a handful of affordances you get with paper over digital.
- Most in the space of embodied cognition would indicate that you will have better retention by writing things down physically versus typing them out.
- studies indicate that the presence of screens/phones reduces the level and quality of the conversation in the room, even when the device is sitting on the table nearby
- people react more at ease with paper note taking, especially in interviews where they tend to be more guarded if you're recording everything
- The act of filing your notes forces you to engage with them multiple times. It's not just re-reading the current note to decide where to place it, but re-reading older notes to decide where the current one fits in. This gives you the benefits of spaced repetition as well as encountering the value of serendipity, synergy, and syzygy
- you're forced to be more concise and selective about what you capture versus digital where it's easier to be a hoarder of material you don't "own" or even understand.
- index cards are just as easy to carry in your pockets as any other device
- physical cards are easier to layout, arrange, and re-arrange in various orders than any of the clunky methods for doing this in the digital space where solid user interface for this sort of affordance is almost entirely lacking.
- paper forces you to slow down and engage with notes in ways that digital notes typically don't
- physical cards actually "get in your way" in a sense while digital cards are always "hidden"
I'm sure you'll find various others hiding in a digital version of my notes: https://hypothes.is/users/chrisaldrich?q=tag%3A%22note+taking+affordances%22
The real question at the end of the day is what works best for you?!? Try them both out for a few weeks or a month or more and chose the version that works best for your modes of thinking. Experimenting is the only way to answer this question for yourself. You may find other affordances that don't apply to others' work.

Robert Caro Reveals Details of His Final Lyndon Johnson Biography<br /> C-SPAN's Book TV
Caro outlines the entirety of his book before he starts writing. He puts his outline onto paper which he tacks up onto cork boards across his office wall.
Caro writes everything in longhand first then types/revised it on his Smith-Corona Electra 210.
Caro only gave Gottlieb a piece of his LBJ bio draft when he ran out of money and needed an advance. Otherwise, he doesn't give his editor material until he's done.
Caro lives on the corner in Central Park West
Caro was on the 22nd floor (of 29) at 250 W. 57th Street for 22 years and wrote 3 books in a one room office. Joseph Heller had an office there as well.

reply to u/Away-Lavishness-4853 at https://reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1tykizl/which_platens_are_interchangeable/ Which platens are interchangeable?
You're really asking either the wrong question or a moot one.
Platens are generally good for about 24-40 years and then need to be recovered. Some machines had exchangeable platens for office use to have different levels of hardness for specific uses, but finding a machine with an extra these days is pretty much non-existent.
For most people if you had a parts machine for which you could "swap" a platen out you'd have to search far and wide for someone who may have gotten a recovered one in the late 80s or maybe early 90s to hope for something passable. Then there's the cost of buying and potentially shipping that machine. I've collected over 70 machines and only one of them had a platen that I would even consider "passable".
Ultimately for $90-150 to recover your platen via J. J. Short, it's much cheaper to just get your platen done and have something that'll last you a few decades.

reply to u/Solid-Theme-6653 at https://www.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1txfdst/is_this_lc_smith_typewriter_the_real_deal/
Rebuilt was a legal term back in the day to mean that a typewriter's condition was equivalent to that of a brand new machine: https://typecast.munk.org/2023/04/24/how-to-properly-describe-the-condition-of-a-typewriter/
Typewriters from that era will have wildly different conditions, and often be in very poor condition. https://boffosocko.com/2026/01/08/on-purchasing-typewriters-condition-is-king-context-is-queen/ Usually they start in the $20 range and often, but not always top, out in the $500 range. With only the pictures to compare these, I might place the first at $25 and the second at $120. (Putting my hands on the machine and inspecting it would obviously dramatically change my evaluation.)
Pretty much no one rebuilds machines anymore, they either service and/or refurbish them (relatively inexpensive $200-400) or they restore them ($500-2000+). I could imagine a well restored version of one of these machines selling for over $2,000, but it would have to be truly stunning and this would be tremendously rare.

@tomp your experience of finding the book binding text while searching for something entirely else is often called "serendipity". The way books are shelved in libraries helps to increase the chance that even if you don't find the thing you're looking for, along the way you might find other things of potential interest. Modern digital search often decreases this effect which was more common in the analog spaces of card catalogs and library books on shelves.
This experience is some of the unseen or elusive "magic" that Luhmann was referencing in his card “Geist im Kasten?” ZKII 9/8,3. You have to have the experience of searching for things and either finding or not finding them and running into entirely different ideas along the way to appreciate this sort of serendipity which is facilitated by physical zettelkasten practice. Otherwise it all seems very mundane. It's hard to see or demonstrate serendipity, and so people only see the papers and boxes and leave disappointed.

Get things covered up. Gloves on and fan cranking. Pre wipe as much as you can off the top. You want to keep gunk out of the segment. This one is not going to be too hard, as the typebars don't run downhill. Brush, blow, repeat. Swap out for clean brushes often. Time for the brass, And save the "you're going to damage the slugs" bs. A brass wheel will do nothing to the slugs except make your life easier. Inspect and time for the pick. Use your phone and take a pic. Inspect the vowels closely. Brush, blow and repeat. Are they clean? If you are looking at a FBM "professionally serviced machine," look those slugs over. If they can't clean the slugs, what can they do? Now you are ready to wipe each typebar with the solvent rag. Cleaning the slug under the typeface is the worst part of it. People will clean the typeface and let years of junk build up underneath. Now you are ready to tackle the segment.

Serial Number<br /> Each typewriter carries its own serial number. Lift the cover plate, and looking at the machine from the right side, you will note the serial number stamped directly behind the touch Selector on the left side of the machine. Record this number for use in ordering supplies and accessories or as identification in case of theft.

George Berkeley: A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge<br /> by Tod Desmond
Four important questions:<br /> - What can I know?
Berkeley believes in two things: ideas and the minds that perceive them.
"manifest contradiction"
Lucretius: things are made of atoms<br /> Berkeley: there are only ideas (and no matter)
Where do ideas and minds separate? where do they connect? how are they different from each other?
primary qualities versus secondary qualities
Plato's theory of absolute ideas<br /> - he rejects matter - GB: we can't separate primary and secondary qualities in our minds
How does matter interact with mind?

Tuning a typewriter
reply to u/solestal801 at https://reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1tp6xh5/tuning_a_typewriter/
Most will call it "adjusting" in the literature (eg. clean, oil, adjust). That's the sort of thing that's hiding deep within a lot of the repair manuals and found by closely watching lots of YouTube repair videos (and taking notes for when you need them). It's the art hiding within the practice and probably takes the longest to acquire.
This will give you a start for some resources: https://boffosocko.com/2024/10/24/learning-typewriter-maintenance-and-repair/
Some examples of the tidbits include:
- Which pairs of pliers (roller, nineprong, peening, etc.) you need to make adjustments in which directions for slugs to be properly aligned.
- How and where to make adjustments for the "touch" of a machine. Joe Van Cleave has an excellent video for this at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYOXgqiHBmg, but most importantly, he shows you that to really know the area, you need to read the repair manual to see the panoply of options for doing this.
- How to do adjustments (and in which order) for things like ring and cylinder (or hammer and anvil), on feet, and motion. I've linked a playlist for the SM3 here https://boffosocko.com/2024/07/14/aggregated-resources-and-playlist-for-a-crash-course-on-the-olympia-sm3-portable-typewriter/, that gives some broad generalities which are also applicable to most other modern machines.
By the sound of where you're at, I might suggest buying a Royal KMM for $20 and methodically working your way through this:

Like most Hermes Rocket/Baby typewriters, mine no longer had feet on the bottom. You can purchase 3D-printed feet at various places, but I went with the silicone grommet/cap route and found a perfect fit. These are rubber caps meant to replace the cushion on the bottom of certain furniture. The holes on the bottom of the typewriter are 6mm in diameter. These plugs fit tight, provide a slight lift, and a slip-free typing experience. I did have to trim off the tops a bit to fit the body back in, but that's all inside the typewriter when put together. These were a pack of ten for $6 USD (or .60 each).

Cell phones have evolved legs: they get us to carry them around in our pockets.
Much like corn and dogs have evolved to increase their fecundity by symbiotic relationships with humans...

They seems to specialize in Olivetti, Hermes, Olympia and Erika machines. They do a fair amount of repainting and chroming.
