So working for the New York Times has made nostalgic for things that were never even a part of my life.  Earlier today I caught myself thinking, ”Man, I wish I worked on an old manual typewriter.”  Of course I quickly realized any C# code written on a manual typewriter might have some problems compiling.  But a quick google, (I LOVE THE INTERNET!) turned up a few examples of people converting old typewriters into keyboards.  GENIUS!  Here’s a screenshot:

I can still see where playing a sweet game of Doom might be problematic but how fun would it be to take this sucker to work? 

P.S.  This blog post was written with the Beta version of Windows Live Writer.  I was amazed at how easy it was to set up with my Wordpress blog.

Who knew I could go so long without daily internet access. I’ve been away for two and a half weeks and I’ve come back to find a very pleasant surprise.

PC World apparently thinks Times Reader is a worthwhile application. It made number 24 on their “100 Best Products of 2007″. That will sure help me sleep at night.
