    Good News Everyone: Typewriter fully functional.

    After many hours of work, my typewriter is now fully functional and printing your tweets. Check it out at http://lepetiteprintshop.com/ At the time of writing this, it actually already printed 68 tweets from all over the world.

    Typewriter to Printer: Setbacks & Progress

    I totally forgot that just having a web video stream of what is happening on the typewriter is not enough. What if actually a few people want to watch it at the same time? Bummer, have to investigate that. So far tests showed not even enough frames come out of that android IP cam app…

    I am converting an almost 100 year old typewriter into a printer that will print your tweets to it on paper while you can watch it on a webcam. It has been a good week for the typewriter to printer conversion project.   Andrew helped me put together a table I designed for the typewriter.…

    Time-Lapse Cube

    Remember those really cool time-lapse videos on educational kids TV about how a seed started growing? Things moving too slow for us to recognize in our fast pace. Last summer I tried to capture a day of the city of Toronto by using a web cam and fast forwarded it later. First try. However, I am…
