Gormley: http://musalman.100hands.net/

Landry: are you molesting me with bad design again?

Gormley: nope
the last handwritten newspaper in existance
its really beautiful
like a letter every day

Landry: oh god
cant they do something better with their writing time?
i mean are they even up to the jfk assassination yet?

Gormley: i actually love it

Landry: im assuming WWII is still in the works

Gormley: ha
it is pretty
it just has great charm as an idea
too many computers, etc
it would be great to get a handmade/handwritten piece of paper

Landry: cant they find something better to write than news?
they apparently used to write copies of the koran
that even seems a better idea
but it is really beautiful

Gormley: i think i love it because it is sad too
no one fucking writes anymore
so i dont even care what they are writing abt
if Fox was doing a handwritten paper id still get it
…of course id write scathing letters to the editor but still

Landry: im going to start handwriting my posts
and taking pics and posting them

Gormley: that would be very cool maybe ill start typesetting mine
in image files

*****************

and so the idea was born
im going to start tomorrow.

It’s funny. I still handwrite letters to people I know and just send it to them randomly. Many when they call me to say they received it say “Why didn’t you just email me?” but then I explain to them that that is exactly why I didn’t. The actual written word will someday become a lost art I feel. Can you imagine a society where children learn to type before they learn how to put pencil to paper and write an “a”?
