the next arthouseparty is next weekend. Amongst other things,¬†we’re making Custom Spam. And getting the bunny girl to deliver it. I ebayed a ’50s Naked Lunch-style portable hand typewriter specially.

It’s been sitting in my house meanwhile, with a blank sheet of paper in it. Visitors can’t resist it. Matching the anonymous message to the guest is¬† my new favourite game.

¬†I guess that, like this post, it’s¬†an object lesson in the relationship between medium and message. But¬†perhaps it’s less complicated. After all, if you type at 80wpm, it’s really enjoyable to be stuck in one gear sometimes. Is there such a thing as the fixed gear of word processing?
