Clearing The Fog

What's Been Up?

New Look, New Name! (Formerly Adventures In Typewriterdom)

Hey, just figured I'd let you guys know that this blog is now named "The Written Word", formerly "Adventures In Typewriterdom." *Shudders* Stay tuned for typecasts!

I'm Still Alive!

Hey guys, I would like to sincerely apologize for the hiatus that this blog has taken. What happened was my scanner wouldn't work, so being dissatisfied with the quality of phone pictures, I decided to not blog until I got a better scanner that worked again. I finally did get a really nice scanner recently, but the only problem is that I needed to update my computer software for the scanner to work. SO, now the software is on its way, and as soon as I install it, I will be back and typecasting again! So, here's to a new chapter in Adventures In Typewriterdom, and I look forward to it! (Damn I wish I picked a different name)

Don't Worry, I'm Still Here...

Well, it's been a while, hasn't it? I must apologize for the lack of activity on the blog for the past few months. I've been busy, and a good part lazy about this blog as well. I guess I just got tired of taking shitty pictures on an iPhone for a while, and silently decided I would not typecast until I got a nice scanner. So, until I get a scanner, I guess I won't really be typecasting. I mean, if anyone has a spare scanner that they don't need, let me know! Otherwise, I guess I'll still just be looking! But I'm still here in the Typosphere, lurking away, still silently reading everyone's posts. But I shall make a return soon, so stay posted!

Searching For The Holy Grail, Please Help!

Hey guys, just a quick post! I have been looking for this specific typewriter for ages. It is a 1950s Groma Gromina, the early model with the red square keys. Here's a picture:

This is one of those typewriters I have lusted over for ages, and one that has been very elusive to me. So, if any of you guys out there in the typosphere has one of these you'd be willing to part with, please contact me at plungerdrum186@aol.com when you can. Thank you, and be on the lookout for more posts!

Worth The Wait! (I Promise You!!)

Hey guys, new post coming very VERY soon! I just received a typewriter that I've been waiting to get for over a year, and I have a feeling that it's going to make a lot of typospheriens jealous! I'll give you some hints as to what it is:

- German made

- BIG

- Awesome

- Kick-ass typeface

That's all I can say for now! Look out for the typecast!

What Has This Blog Become??

Hey Guys, I am just doing a quick post, because I feel I really need to. I'm sorry for the pile of sh*t this blog has been lately, and I really feel I do owe my readers an apology. I have hardly been typecasting, and really just haven't been keeping up as much as I used to with the typosphere. I'[m by no means saying that my interest is waning, it's just that I'm getting ready for my Senior prom, getting ready for college, and preparing for my graduation, which is in a little over a month. So as you can clearly see, it's been a little hectic, and whenever I feel like I wanna do a typecast, it's either really late at night or I just end up falling asleep at my typewriter! So, I promise that within these next few days, I'll be doing a typecast, and it'll be a typewriter showdown! I'm not giving away any names of machines, but let's just say that they're favorites of mine, and they definitely will be great going against each other for this 1960's showdown! So, please accept my apologies, and I really am going to try to get this blog back where it used to be!

Wait, What's A Typosphere?

WOW. It's been quite a while, hasn't it? Well, I'm just giving you guys a little tease... My next post will be shortly from now, and it will introduce, wait for it... Pencasting to this blog! People have always said I have very neat handwriting, and I guess that comes from me practicing it whenever I got bored in class! So, since my next post will be a two-pager, the first page will be done on a typewriter that is on its way to me, one of which I have been lusting after for a very long time, and the pencast will be done on- well you'll just have to tune in and read my next post to find out, won't you? HA.

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!
