IBM Selectric typewriter ad

April 02, 2012 by Thomas Chau in laughs, extracurriculars, cool stuff

​Old ads are so fucking weird.

​This one is an ad for the legendary IBM Selectric.

Which reminds me... I'm gonna dust off my Model M and bring it to work. Sick of Apple's ​slick piece of shit keyboard. It might be pretty but it's not practical as a typing machine; probably because Steve Jobs wasn't a programmer typing away all day.

Paper for the iPad

March 29, 2012 by Thomas Chau in cool stuff

​Amazing. Maybe I'll quit dragging around a sketchbook and pencil and just use this. Maybe. I'll install this one soon.

So far, nothing has exceeded the low-tech solution.​ No matter how many times I try fancy apps like Evernote or whatever, I always forget them and fall back to the good ol moleskine. They're just too much work:

Flip open iPad. Turn it on. Look for the icon; fuck, It's on the third screen. Swipe over. Locate notetaking app. Wait for it to load. Push a few buttons to create a new post or a new page, push a few more to get the pen or text, then I can finally start typing. The idea might've flown away by that point! ​
