Bremerton Typewriter Company, photography by Ruth Fremson. Finding Mr. Montgomery’s shop required determination. No sign marked the building; no indication that inside, five floors up, a master craftsman was keeping alive skills that predated the computer age. You took an elevator that groaned. When the doors opened, you knew immediately you were in the right place: a 1916 Royal Model 10 typewriter stood guard outside an open door, and the air smelled like oil.
I love pieces like these. Showing the craft, the getting up every day and plugging away at something, a thing you so admire. This one in particular reminds me of a time I visited a fella somewhere in Amsterdam, who repaired record players. Thorens, to be specific, and specialised in the type I have at home. Very kind, very skilled.
My thanks to Thomas, for sharing it.

I've not watched any other videos about the Vision Pro because I will not buy the goggles and I've been somewhat sceptical of this product direction, but Casey Neistat's video does an excellent job of showing what it's like to use this thing in real life, and gets across well the hints it provide at a future with spatial computing. It's… kind of exciting?
