Virtual Typewriter Museum: Hansen Writing Ball.

Posted by Alex in Gadgets, Hacks & Mods, Pictures on July 2, 2007 at 2:21 am

Rev. Rasmus Hansen (1835 – 1890) created this "writing ball", the world’s first commercially produced typewriter, so his deaf students can "speak with their fingers."

The most striking feature of the writing ball is the semi-sphere on top of the machine, with 52 keys sticking out like a giant pin cushion. At the lower end of each stem is a character, cast in exactly the right angle to create a perfectly even print on the central printing point under the ball. The escapement mechanism moved the paper frame that held the paper one space until the end of the line was reached. By pushing the button on the left in front of the ball all the way down, the carriage was turned concentrically back to the beginning of the line and moved one line to the left.

Read all about the Hansen Writing Ball and other amazing typewriters at the Virtual Typewriter MuseumThanks Mikolka!

A True Gamer’s Wedding Cake.

Posted by Alex in Food & Drink, Pictures, Toys on July 2, 2007 at 2:19 am

When GameDaily contributor Carol Orsini got married, this was her wedding cake!

As you can see, the bottom layer is my fabulous Xbox 360. On top of that is my PS2 and the next layer is my Xbox. If you look closely enough, you can see the DVD remote sensor in a controller port. Such attention to detail! Topping the entire masterpiece (as it should) is the limited edition ‘Legend of Zelda’ gold GameCube.
