It is a gorgeous day here, I am enjoying a coffee and looking through all of the interesting things I an finding in my in basket.  Here is something from the National Post by Rex Murphy.  For all you who do not know Rex, he can be regarded as one of the great commentators of the current age.  He always brings sense to the chaos and fluff of current news.







This week he talks about Facebook and the uproar that has developed around Cambridge Analytica having sold data to the Trump Campaign.  This after Facebook let the Obama Campaign was allowed (for free?) to mine their data for the 2012 presidential campaign (Hmmm no outrage).  Who cares and do you really think this helped?  We are overestimating the value of the data these companies have other then your name.

No.29 - Typewriter of the Day: Underwood Universal

No 29: TOTD Underwood Universal - Golden Touch

Here is another time capsule in my collection.  I hadn't typed on this machine since I picked it up.  What a waste, it is perfect, types well has a good ribbon and has everything from the paperwork to the key for the case.  It could use a little more exercise which is something I can only look to myself to handle.  Enjoy the picture.

I am uploading this now but will update this posting when I can add some information as to who used an Underwood  Universal to write with.  I have reached out to Richard Polt,  the typewriter guru, for help with this interesting question.

P.S. Richard got back to me almost immediately with the following:

Hi John,

Thanks for writing.

I have a list of writers and their typewriters at http://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/typers.html. 

According to one of my correspondents, Australian writer Ruth Park used such a machine. Just now I found the attached photo; it’s definitely an Underwood from the ‘50s, but I can’t be sure of which model.

best wishes,

Richard

Has this got Lindsey Shepard written all over it? This sounds like something drummed up by activist Psychologists.  Perhaps Dr. Peterson should not make himself vulnerable by offering counseling.
