You have a fall fashion mood board?

I hear you on that.

The other really nice thing that Apple does with its products–-the iPhone in particular--is that they've designed in a little indicator light that will tip off potential repair-ers to the fact that the phone needs to be replaced, not fixed. I dunked mine in some water a while back, and though it still works, I like the subtle "screw you" that the light offers whenever I turn the phone on.

This makes my college experience a little more understandable. I was an IR major.

Lame thing to ask, but... what sorta pens did you guys use to ink up the drawings? Am having a hard time finding a good set.

Nice sketches, by the way.

Word. Here's a quick piece from the LA Times about an office equipment repair shop seeing a revival in typewriters: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2008...

Agreed, Jack.

Johanna and I were actually talking about this (to a certain degree) this morning via chat. Specifically, while I might be using web-based project management tools at work, they're simply not practical for me to use long-term for personal management. Paper--specifically, in book format, that you can carry around with you wherever you go--is a more permanent reminder of things to do, a more permanent record of things you've thought, written or sketched.

And specifically for things that are written, lots of people I know were taught to "just keep writing" and get thoughts out "on paper" before heading back to edit. And my pops always told me to get things on paper in long-hand first, before heading to a word processor.

Perhaps there's something to typewriters after all.
