Overrated Typewriters Vol. 1: The Hermes 3000

I'm Back!

A Minor Problem...

Hey guys, I am forced to do this entry on the computer because my scanner is being stupid right now, and I really have neglected to update this blog since my scanner stopped working properly. So, I really am sorry for just leaving you guys hanging, and I hope to be back and typecasting soon! I tried to make a video explaining all of this, but it took forever to upload, so I just decided to simply write this instead! Also, I will most likely be going up to Cambridge Typewriter the weekend of Halloween! So, I'll be taking plenty of videos there, and I will also be keeping you guys posted and also work on fixing my scanner!

Typewriter Showdown! (A Series): Remington-Rand 17 Vs. Royal KMM

To be fair, the Remington hasn't been refurbished, but the Royal has... Hmm... Maybe a rematch at another point?

In Honor Of Typewriter Day!

Here's me doing some speed typing to show how fast I really can type:

Yes, this is actually MY Remington. (Photo taken by Mr. Seaver when it was his.)

One Hilarious Commercial.

Well, I really cound this entertaining, so I figured I'd post it up here. A cross betwen American Psycho and that really catchy 90's Mentos commercial theme song!

Enjoy!

Not Again...

Big News, Little Time.

Hello, once again. Yet another digital post. Oh well. Anyhow, once the schoolwork calms down, I'll finally have time for typecasting once again! But, anyhow, onto the big news. I've gone international! Yes, you heard right, I am being interviewed by people in Tokyo! Of course, on the phone. It will be directly translated into Japanese by a translator, and I am very excited to do this. I'll let you all know how it goes!

A Good Explaination... (Computercasting)

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of in-actiuvity on this blog lately. I know I made a promise to give you guys more content, but my life has been a little hectic lately, and I just can't find the time anymore to typecast right now. Since I was out of school for about two months straight, I obviously missed a lot of work. Now, I am going to be a Senior next year, and will be graduating, but I want to pass with at least decent grades. I have been working hard with my schoolwork, and it has been taking up a lot free time that I may have to typecast. So, when it comes down to it, it's either typecasting, or homework, so I obviously have to choose the latter, although I'd much rather prefer to to the first. Either way, promise that once Summer comes around, you'll be seeing a lot more activity from this blog as I'll have a lot more time and less things to keep me busy!

P.S.- The reason this post wasn't a typecast is because I'm currently at someone's house who doesn't have a scanner, and I don't have a typewriter with me. So... yeah.

Let's Straighten Things Out.

The Next Typecast Will Be A Surprise!

The next typecast will be a surprise! And it will be coming soon!

Mint Condition Typewriters.

Hello everyone, a quick post so you guys can check out this man's amazing collection of typewriters from the 19th century. Martin Howard takes old typewriters, and makes them look like they just came out of the factory. He has plenty of rare, unusual, and certainly valuable (Hope he locks his doors at night!) collection Anyhow, I just wanted to post his website, so check it out if you can!

So, How About That Radio...

So, here's my radio interview! I'm towards the end at the 1:00 mark! I'm from the April 20th podcast, although it was on the radio.

Terribly Sorry For The Lack Of Activity...

So, I'm doing this post simply because I've noticed that typecasts from me have been few and far apart lately. I just simply have been busy with plenty of other things in my life, and I will be typecasting a lot again probably this week! It is safe to say you all can expect a typecast from me Tomorrow night. Keep on typing!

P.S.- I'm doing this the digital way since I've no access to a scanner, because I'm at my sister's for the weekend, but I have brought my trusty Lettera 32! So, I'll be back again tomorrow!

It's Been Awhile.
