News Links

I've kept an RSS feed of Google news stories featuring the word "typewriter" for a while now, and maybe every tenth story or so is relevant (most often the typewriter is used as a cultural touchstone of "times long gone by.") Today I had the wise idea to try a search for "Typosphere" and lo! The stories are plentiful. So much so that I've added a new "In The News" section to the page, over there on the left, just below the members. The recent NY Times article is there, plus a few others. As I write this, the top three links feature fellow typospherians:

• Typewriter devotees gather online, in a Philly pub - The Desert Sun - 04/14/2011
• ASU alum uses typewriters in high school classroom - The State Press - 04/14/2011
• True Type - The Weekly Standard (blog) - 04/17/2011

Blogger seems to limit this gadget to the five most recent stories, but I'll see if I can tweak that: the layout has the space, certainly.
