Today I brought to life the stupidest web thing I’ve ever made – SpicyTake

Over the last few weeks I’ve stepped away from various online spafs, and real world ones too for that matter, on Twitter. I took it upon myself to purge my timeline of negativity and just try and keep an overall much happier mood. I’ve found this to greatly improve my well being and I highly suggest you do the same.

The Typewriter Hack Part 1 – Recon w/ @maythegoat

Smooth Jazz plays, the clickedy clack of an old typewriter is heard a shadowy black and white figure sits at a desk as their cigar puffs gentle rise and caress the ceiling. 
“It was Easter” the page reads. “I can’t say this was an easy find but after the months of searching we cracked the case. We found the device.”

Alright enough of that crap….
So @maythegoat and I went to a charity shop and found an old Japanese brand Nakajima AX-150 electronic typewriter. Of course the only sensible option next was to hack about with it.
