Friday in Austin

02010-07-30 | Uncategorized | 2 comments

I have a crash of photos to upload and have music ready for download and streaming, but I am going to wait until I get home on Sunday. No need to pay this hotel – we all agree that this hotel may have the worst beds on the planet – money for Internet. I mean, we would be more comfortable sleeping on the bus…

My computer is competing for my attention with the iPad and losing. I seem to only bring it out to download photos from the camera’s memory card, to work on the images, or, if a place has free Wi-Fi, to upload images. Other than that I am doing most everything on the iPad. To a child growing up with an iPad, a regular computer will feel like… a giant IBM typewriter feels to me, or an old fashioned letterpress (((although I do have a real love for old printing presses – worked with them in art school in the Seventies))).

My head is buzzing with ideas. More when I get home.

    We actually still have an IBM typewriter at the office.

    I served a print apprenticeship in the 80s and used an old Heidelberg flatbed press – amazing to watch! The whole bed
    of the machine moved back and forth under the impression cylinder. We had to learn how to ‘dress’ the cylinder with manilla. Beautiful machine. Heidelberg presses are still regarded as the best.
