unruly ... notruly |
I am a Toronto-based writer and editor who is ridiculously fond of books and art and music and whiskey and stormy weather and swimming and running and typewriters and the colour green and run-on sentences and bad swears. (Especially bad swears.) I own and operate www.unruly.ca, where I write about art and craft and design and music and books and the act of making, amongst other topics, and sometimes publish the writings of others, too. I think you should read my blog and submit to it too — both words and images are sought and loved. G'wan. You know you want to. |

Making words
In all the annals of object porn, there are no objects that incite greater lust in me than typewriters.
Typing on a computer is a tactile experience, of course it is, but kind of a not-very-tactile tactile experience. I don’t take much pleasure in it altho’ I’m well inured to it by now. That being said, it probably won’t come as any big surprise if I tell you that I love typewriters with big lovey loves and have eleven of those beauties in my house.
