Leibniz created a haystack of notes that wouldn't fit in his Zettelschrank<br /> by [[writingslowly.com]]<br /> accessed on 2025-08-30T19:27:07
-
Krajewski’s recent chapter “Intellectual Furniture: Elements of a Deep History of Artificial Intelligence.” sets Leibniz’s endeavours in the context of an intellectual history that stretches from the specialised furniture Leibniz acquired to arrange his notes, via the dawn of the computer age, all the way to the recent rise of artificial intelligence.
I love the idea of "intellectual furniture" though I've seen it in negative contexts before. Compare also with "books as wallpaper".

-
Malthus and Wells—and now Joy—are, indeed, critical parts ofthese complex loops. Each knew when and how to sound the alarm.But each thought little about how to respond to that alarm.
-
The challenge forfuturology (and for all of us) is to see beyond the hype and past the over-simplifications to the full import of these new sociotechnical formations.
-
While many powerful national corporations have grown insignifi-cant, some have transformed into more powerful transnational firms.While some forms of community may be dying, others, bolstered bytechnology, are growing stronger.
What do the shapes and sizes in these networks tell us about potential outcomes?
How are these changes created? How are the outcomes and shapes different?
Can we put a mathematical "measure" on them? What do the (topological) "neighborhoods" look like before and after?
-
One of the lessons of Joy’s article, then, is that the path to the futurecan look simple (and sometimes downright terrifying) if you look at itthrough what we call “6-D lenses.” We coined this phrase having sooften in our research hit up against upon such “de-” or “di-” words asdemassification, decentralization, disintermediation, despacialization,disaggregation and demarketization in the canon of futurology.If you take any one of these words in isolation, it’s easy to followtheir relentless logic to its evident conclusion.
-
Why does the threat of a cunning, replicating robot society look soclose from one perspective, yet so distant from another? The differencelies in the well-known tendency of futurologists to count “1, 2, 3 . . . amillion.” That is, once the first step on a path is taken, it’s very easy toassume that all subsequent steps are trivial.
1, 2, 3, ... profit also follows this general pattern and some companies like Uber, Lyft, Postmates, etc. have found this difficult to do.
Tesla is another example which seems to fit the profile of this piece with respect to Elon Musk having pissed off the very people he was attempting to sell to.
-
Having ignored social concerns, however, proponents havemade the people they need to educate profoundly suspicious and hostile.
-
But, on the otherhand, social systems—in the form of governments, the courts, formaland informal organizations, social movements, professional networks,local communities, market institutions and so forth—shape, moderateand redirect the raw power of technologies.
I find myself reading this from the perspective not so much of technology, but of these social systems which seem to be being stressed right now. Is it the technologists (Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, etc.) who realize that these systems were part of the technology "problem" in the past and now they've figured out a way to attempt to "capture" people to organize their original ends?
-
In Joy’s vision, as in the nuclear one, there’s a recognizable tunnelvision that leaves people out of the picture and focuses on technologyin splendid isolation.
-
Similar social forces are at work on technologies today. But becausethe digerati, like technoenthusiasts before them, look to the future withtechnological tunnel vision, they too have trouble bringing other forcesinto view.
great reminder in both technology and politics
-
Like the nuclearprognosticators, Joy can see the juggernaut clearly. What he can’t see—which is precisely what makes his vision so scary—are any controls.
This observation is important in so many areas of life and research. It's not what you see in aggregate or on the surface, but the details below the surface which help to determine the second, third, and later-order effects.
-
Sowhen his article describes a technological juggernaut thundering towardsociety—bringing with it mutant genes, molecular-level nanotechnologymachines and superintelligent robots—all need to listen.
These things can only kill us if we don't manage to kill ourselves first...

Avoiding Internal Typewriter Distractions - YouTube<br /> by [[Joe Van Cleave]] <br /> accessed on 2025-08-28T11:08:56
Typewriter distractions<br /> - troublesome mechanical issues<br /> - need for finger strength - poor imprint
Well-tuned standard typewriters are excellent for minimizing distractions, especially internal ones.
Joe Van Cleave thinks the 5TE Smith-Corona electric typewriters are the best of their class.
-
Royal standards have the shift lock further away from the letter "a" which can prevent the accidental shifting of the letter "a" while typing. This distraction can be annoying when writing at speed.
-
Large horizontally oriented typewriter mats can be useful in that they create a buffer zone that covers the carriage movement and helps to prevent one from accidentally putting their beverages in the way of the carriage.

It's an Olivetti Valentine. An iconic piece of design with mechanicals almost identical to the Lettera 32. Its designer, Ettore Sotsass, was apparently not fond of it ("I worked as an architect for sixty years of my life and all people know is this fucking plastic machine" - or something to that effect) and its first production run was not particularly popular.

Opinion : AI Writing Disclosures Are a Joke. Here’s How to Improve Them.<br /> by [[Yasha Hartberg]] August 15, 2025

Whether you log your work with a notebook, a version control app, or a folder full of drafts, the goal is the same: make the writing process traceable.

It’s that they flatten the chaotic, recursive, very human writing process into something tidy and mechanical.

Themed logs are still more useful than daily notes<br /> by [[Eleanor Konik]]<br /> accessed on 2025-08-18T09:19:49
On ordering notes in particular ways. Presumably search and indexing are the important factors here, but potentially also has something to say about context and the immediacy of neighborhoods.
Personal preference may be the biggest determination.
She focuses on where she'll search for things rather than indexing them where they start and then searching and concatenating them later (or digitally).
She uses the "everything has it's place" idea to commonplace more traditionally (or at least in an Obsidian digital context).
She also tangentially touches on the idea of where to place the work when taking notes. Toss it into a pile or deal with it now and the work it may take to clean up later.
Some interesting and potentially useful idiosyncratic evidence here, but nothing new or earth shattering.

Things Aren’t Going Donald Trump’s Way - The Atlantic<br /> by [[Jonathan Lemire]]<br /> accessed on 2025-08-18T08:39:4
-
The moment came in May, when CNBC’s Megan Cassella asked Trump about “TACO,” an acronym for “Trump always chickens out.” The phrase had gained popularity in the financial sector as a derisive shorthand for the president’s penchant for backing down from his tariff threats. During an otherwise routine Oval Office event, Trump sputtered angrily at Cassella, claiming that his shifting tariff timelines were “part of negotiations” and admonishing, “Don’t ever say what you said.”

What brings you trolling back, then?<br /> by [[Colin Richardson]] in The Guardian accessed on 2025-08-15T14:24:32

Polari flourished in the difficult years between the trial of Oscar Wilde and the 1967 Sexual Offences Act. It was a kind of code, which enabled one gay man to identify another, allowed them to express themselves publicly without fear of arrest or reprisal and provided a vocabulary for talking about gay sex and sexuality.
-
Glossary: troll back, to return; nish, no more; aunt nells, ears; naff, straight, tasteless; ogle, eye; dolly, nice, pleasant; eek , face - a contraction of the backslang ecaf; cod , bad, fake; zhoosh, to titivate; drag, clothing, a special outfit; dish, attractive, to gossip or bum; trade, sexual partner; colin, horn, erection; fantabulosa, fantabulosa.
-
The radio comedy sketch show, Round the Horne, introduced two regular characters, Julian and Sandy, who spoke a version of polari.
-
Many polari words are recognisable: aqua, manjaree, vada, bona, omi, even polari itself. You can probably guess at their meanings: water, food or to eat, look or see, good, man, and talk.

Polari, or "The Lost Language of Gay Men" as Paul Baker has it in his wonderfully readable lexicon of that name, is the secret parlance through which gay men secretly communicated with each other during most of the 20th century.

It depends in my opinion. Many variables with this company and what you seek as well as preferences. Do you want a three bank typewriter? I would go with an Erika 2 for a three bank typewriter. Do you want a more modern typewriter? Perhaps an Erika 10 is a good choice. Do you want a certain font? Maybe Fraktur? (Good luck finding one for cheap however) Erika 5 would be a good choice for fonts maybe. Do you want a rare and collectable model? Go with an Erika 20. They have basket shift too. I would personally avoid the newer models, such as the Erika 50. They aren't great in my preference, but you decide! There are many different models for different people, but the main company that produced Erikas, which is Seidel & Naumann, also created the "Ideal" brand of typewriters. S&N is responsible for a lot of typewriters.

Over time, dust and oil can clog up in the bearing and along the track that the segment glides up and down on causing this sort of issue. You can flush it out with mineral spirits (or something similar) while you actuate the shift key to remedy the issue. When you're done, then add back a drop of light (sewing) machine oil.
While you're at it, most basket shift machines load them with large springs to assist with the weight and to help the return. They're typically attached to metal brackets that can be easily formed with pliers to either increase or decrease the force as necessary to suit your touch and preferred response. (YouTube videos may help here if necessary.)
If that doesn't remedy it, then take the hood off and look closely at the mechanism to see if something is physically impeding it.

Reply to Joe Van Cleave at https://typewriterdatabase.com/show.21270.typewriter
It's probably a subtle difference, but is this machine provide the standard 6 lines per vertical inch or due to the taller ascenders/descenders is it a 4 lines per vertical inch machine?
If you need a "name" for this machine, I might suggest "Satchmo". In doing some research on Louis Armstrong's 5 series Smith Corona, I'm pretty sure his 5 series also had this same vertical script. None of the features on any of the photos I could find of his machine are subtle enough to distinguish which particular model of Smith-Corona he was using. If we find a good direct photo of the machine itself, I'm sure I could puzzle out which version he used. By 1955 he had at least one machine with a script face (see: https://www.louisarmstronghouse.org/virtual-exhibits/my-fifty-fifth-birthday-celebration-happy-birthday-louis-armstrong/). It doesn't appear to be Smith-Corona's common Script (Artistic) No. 75 , but more like Script No. 46. Based on a version of this photo (https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/presto/2019/07/15/USAT/d815dddc-c0b8-4c54-b9b5-719886d4a0cc-02_Armstrong_Louis_16.jpg?width=1292&height=1320&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp) it would seem that it's the Smith-Corona that was the script machine (as opposed to his earlier Remington).
According to Ted Munk's post on the S-C Vertical script: "Smith Corona is offering the [vertical] typeface as 'Script No. 46', 10 Pitch by 1954."
Joe's video of his 1952 Smith-Corona this with the same vertical script https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH6mwmoN_LI

Somewhat interesting that Louis Armstrong played cornet, wrote on a Smith-Corona, and lived in the Corona neighborhood of Queens, NY.

Ray Bradbury's Rules to Writing: Don't Think!<br /> accessed on 2025-08-12T09:45:59
"...you must never think at the typewriter, you must feel." —Ray Bradbury
This also cleverly goes against the idea that "writing is thinking". Bradbury frames it as "writing is feeling" or "writing is being."

It came in a nice condition, black leatherette-covered hard wooden case, with the original brush, an owner's manual in French, a typing instruction booklet in English and a cardboard "instant typing chart" made to fit between the 3rd and 4th rows of keys in order to help in learning the touch-typing method.

Almost every day here there's at least one person asking where they can find new ribbon.
There is a seemingly a lot of talk here and on the web about re-inking typewriter ribbon, but the majority of it stems from the fact that people don't see new ribbon in the wild and assume that it isn't made anymore and thus the only way to type is to re-ink it. While it can be done it's a lot of work and effort with modest results and tends to be far more expensive and messy than it's worth in the end. Beyond this, it takes some research to find appropriate types of ink. You can also find advice about re-wetting old ribbon with WD-40 to "rejuvenate" it, but that process is also a lot of work and mess with poor results. Unless you really have to, I don't recommend reinking or rejuvenating.
Fortunately new typewriter ribbon is easily obtainable and is very inexpensive and easy enough to spool onto your already existing spools after you've removed the old ribbon. Even Tom Hanks has a video about putting ribbon on your typewriter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBbsNKaVAB0 Scores of similar videos exist covering various makes and models of typewriter, but the process doesn't have a lot of variability.
Both Baco Ribbon and Fine Line offer black/red bichrome ribbon in most of these materials for a very reasonable price per yard, in the range of:
- nylon ribbon $0.10 - $0.15/yard
- silk ribobn $0.33 to $0.40/yard
- cotton ribbon $0.25/yard
Most machines with 2 inch diameter spools will take from 18-22 yards of ribbon while ultra-portables with smaller spools will do 12-16 yards.
If you're going to buy even 3-6 spools of ribbon at individual prices of $9-20 per spool, you may as well make the investment in a half or full reel of inked typewriter ribbon and save yourself some expense.
Other purveyors exist including those listed at: https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-faq.html#q1
If you really must, search Amazon or Etsy for smaller shops with larger mark ups on typewriter ribbon.

Jane Austen lives on<br /> by [[Emily Gaines Buchler]]<br /> accessed on 2025-08-05T14:59:35
-
These assessments push Austen beyond her stereotype as patron saint of marriage plots. As Inger Sigrun Bredkjær Brodey, an English professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, argues in Jane Austen and the Price of Happiness (JHU Press, 2024), the author's rushed and unsatisfying wedding scenes reveal her ambivalence about the convention of marriage. "If marriage is so central to Austen as a novelist, why does she speed through the resolution?" Brodey asks.
Jane Austin as patron saint of marriage plots
-
Here, she pokes fun at the fickle customs of upper-crust British society, which tended to base a woman's worth on external appearances, instead of internal qualities like intelligence and compassion.
In Jane Austin's time women were valued for their external appearance. In modern society we tend to economically prey on their intelligence and compassion.
-
Austen never married and remained financially dependent on her family, despite earning a meager but noteworthy wage of £684 for the four novels she published during her lifetime. (Persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published posthumously.) "She was proud of the money she earned, but it wasn't enough to subsist on," Looser says.
-
Among them: the smash-hit 1940 Pride and Prejudice film with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier; Ang Lee's Oscar-winning Sense and Sensibility from 1995; the cult-classic Clueless (1996), based on Emma; and the 2016 mash-up of genres—romance meets sci-fi meets horror—in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, where heroine Elizabeth Bennet takes on a new role: slayer of the walking dead.
-
The book's title also suggests abolitionist sentiments, given its connection to William Murray, the 1st Earl of Mansfield who served as Lord Chief Justice of England from 1756 to 1788—and was known as Lord Mansfield. In 1772, Mansfield ruled on a court case involving James Somerset, enslaved in colonial Virginia and brought to England by his master. After escaping and being recaptured, Somerset faced sale to a Jamaican plantation. A London abolitionist network intervened, and Mansfield ruled that Somerset—chained on a boat in the Thames—be freed.
-
Midway through Jane Austen's 1814 novel Mansfield Park, a few lines of prose rouse readers into a debate that still rages. The heroine, Fanny Price, known for both her timidity and strong moral backbone, broaches a controversial topic among relatives: the presence of slaves on her uncle's sugar plantations in Antigua, then a British colony. Fanny's inquiry goes unanswered—or as she describes it, a "dead silence!" cuts through the air, as her cousins sit idly by "without speaking a word or seeming at all interested in the subject."

For installing ribbon on almost all machines, it's recommended you set the ribbon selector to the "red" position and then simultaneously press the H and G keys so that they meet in the middle and temporarily "jam" in the up position. This holds the ribbon vibrator in its highest position making the vibrator easier to access and thread.
Reading manuals for your particular machine can help with respect to whether the ribbon should come off the front or the back of the spool: https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-manuals.html

Start here: https://typewriterdatabase.com/imperial.76.typewriter-serial-number-database Try to identify your particular model from the links at the bottom of the page to see specific examples. You can look through individual galleries to find a serial number and that may allow you to find the range of serial numbers made in particular years to narrow down your year. Looks like it's a "standard" from the late 30s or 1940s, possibly an Imperial 50.
Next find a manual (or something close): https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-manuals.html
Learn how they were used: https://boffosocko.com/2025/06/06/typewriter-use-and-maintenance-for-beginning-to-intermediate-typists/
Consider whether it will be cheaper/easier to have someone service it for you or to do it yourself: https://boffosocko.com/2025/06/23/typewriter-repair-costs-and-valuation-professional-shops-versus-collectors-versus-first-time-buyers/

Use and maintenance
The use and maintenance details you might be looking for: https://boffosocko.com/2025/06/06/typewriter-use-and-maintenance-for-beginning-to-intermediate-typists/
Typewriter Manuals
In case you need a manual: https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-manuals.html Your specific manual may be helpful for the tiny specifics like where the carriage lock is or how to properly thread your ribbon, but all the "good" stuff may be in much older manuals for other machines, especially in the 1920s by which time most typewriter technology and features were roughly standardized. Later manuals became less dense as it was assumed that newer users had friends/family/teachers to show them the "missing manual" portions for how to use them.

There are two general types of "sticky keys": 1. sticky going up 2. sticky coming down
Sticky going up
For stickiness slowing down the typebar (on the way up or down), it's likely that you've got oil, dirt, dust, or other sludge in the segment of your machine. You'll want to flush out your segment with some solvent and potentially blow things out with compressed air to remove the source of the friction.
While you're flushing out the segment with your solvent of choice (lacquer thinner, paint thinner, mineral spirits, alcohol, etc.), actually move the typebars using the keys or by other means. This will help to get them moving and allow the solvent and subsequently compressed air to help flush the oil, dust, hair, etc. out of your machine. You've already got a mechanical cleaning device of sorts (the typebar itself) inside the segment, so move it while you're flushing it out!
It may take a few repeated treatments/attempts to get it all clear for all the keys, but it's far easier than taking everything apart.
When you're done, it's common wisdom that one should NOT oil the segment.
Sticky going down
If your typebar(s) are sticking due to friction at the typing point, then they need some gentle forming to the right or the left to prevent them from rubbing on the typing point so that they can fall back down to the type rest. The two videos below will help describe and demonstrate the symptoms as well as the repair. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrlt6VyC8D0&t=485s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arspyq1w4Iw
Other considerations
It's much less common, but once everything is clean and properly aligned, if you're still seeing sluggishness, it may be the case that the spring on the individual key has broken or become disconnected which prevents it from returning back to the type rest.

Earlier this morning, I said to someone who was worried about typing topless:
You'll be joining a log line of typists, including Wood Allen, who liked to type "naked" or "topless".
I've even seen a few typewriter shops selling typewriters without the external shells. I'd a lot harder to keep them dust free, but it can certainly be fun. It's an fun, easy, and fascinating way to sell off a machine that's missing some screws or has dented/damaged panels.

Godrej & Boyce's Milind Dukle tells the Business Standard: "From the early 2000 onwards, computers started dominating. All the manufacturers of office typewriters stopped production, except us. Till 2009, we used to produce 10,000 to 12,000 machines a year. "We stopped production in 2009 and were the last company in the world to manufacture office typewriters. Currently, the company has only 500 machines left. The machines are of Godrej Prima, the last typewriter brand from our company, and will be sold at a maximum retail price of Rs 12,000."

Looks like a portable 4 bank B model Underwood from 1926 (see also: https://typewriterdatabase.com/underwood.4.typewriter-serial-number-database).
Appears to be in reasonable cosmetic condition with good decals, but the internal condition is going to be the biggest determinant of value. In unknown condition they sell regularly for $20-50 in online auctions, but cleaned, oiled, and adjusted from a professional repair shop they might go as high as $400, or perhaps $550 if you've had the rubber on the platen re-covered. Thinking that fair market for this in even the most pristine condition is $800 is pure folly unless it was used by someone famous. (The lack of interest from antique shops is a solid indicator here.) It assuredly is not going to make you rich, unless you bought the house from a famous author.
You might find some useful advice from some of the articles at: https://boffosocko.com/research/typewriter-collection/#Typewriter%20Market They're written with first time buyers in mind, but you could also view them from the first time seller perspective.
A local repair shop might give you a few bones for it and give it a new life: https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-repair.html
You could also donate it to a local thrift shop.
Your best bet for time and money invested though, is to gift it to a kid or teenager you know who's interested in writing, perhaps as a birthday present along with a copy of either: (1) Polt, R. The Typewriter Revolution: A Typist’s Companion for the 21st Century, 1st ed.; Countryman Press: Woodstock, VT, 2015. (2) Flint, W. D. The Distraction-Free First Draft; One Idea Press, 2023.
Good luck with it.

When I started out back in 2014, I would print out artworks by Paul Smith and study them under a magnifying glass to better understand how he tackled certain subjects or material textures, be it fabrics, water, grass, reflections and along the way, I have developed my own techniques as well.
-
One drawing can take me anywhere between three to four weeks to type and contain more than 1 million individually typed letters, numbers, and punctuation marks all puzzle-pieced together.

Paul Smith, an American artist who lived with cerebral palsy and created extraordinary artworks using a typewriter. As a child, Paul was given a typewriter by his parents. Because of his condition, he couldn’t hold pens or pencils, and like any parent, they wanted to help him learn to write. The mechanical control of a typewriter not only allowed him to do that with precision, but also unlocked a way for him to express himself artistically.
-
Cook has been creating art with typewriters for nearly a decade. Though each piece can take weeks to complete, the prolific artist has produced over 300 works to date.

On most machines, the ribbon vibrator is meant to slide up and down freely and it typically returns with just gravity. 9 times out of 10 the reason that the vibrator doesn't go back down because it's either dirty/gummy or has been slightly bent. Put a few drops of mineral spirits or similar degreaser on it and give it a light scrub with a toothbrush. If it doesn't move freely after a round or two of this, is it bent and hanging on something? If so, bend it so that it moves freely.
The other 1 of 10 times, it's the ribbon that's been installed correctly.
