Scale of the Universe

This is beyond cool: the Homunculus Nebula and Quantum Foam together again. Scale of the Universe created by Cary and Michael Huang. Open it when you've got some time to kill.

Chromatic Typewriter

Painter Tyree Callahan out of Bellingham modified a 1937 Underwood Standard typewriter, replacing the letters and keys with color pads and hued labels to create a functional “painting” device called the Chromatic Typewriter. The lovely machine was Callahan's entry to the 2012 West Prize competition, an annual art prize that’s determined by popular vote. If you like it, there's still time to vote, right here.

New and Improved Obsolescence

DIY Engineer Jack Zylkin's new USBTypewriter is a "groundbreaking innovation in the field of obsolescence." It allows devotees of old fashioned manual typewriters (like your humble Gurldogg) to use them as keyboards for any USB-capable computer. The modification is relatively easy to install, with a minimum of messy wiring, and doesn't change the outward appearance of the typewriter at all, except for the usb adapter itself.

At this website, you can buy a USB Typewriter of your own, or you can buy a kit to make one yourself. You can also send Zylkin your beloved typewriter to customize.
