We Made This: Olivetti Lettera 22 Instruction Manual Hello all, tea's made so now I can get writing. As Alistair mentioned, I'm Ed Cornish and I've taken time out of my busy summer holiday schedual of avoiding my thesis and worrying about the dreaded final year of uni to help out at the studio. Regular visitors to We Made This will know that they are big fans of old printed ephemera, and I've been squandering my student loan on old tat for a while now, so I thought I’d commandeer the blog to show off a piece from my own collection; the manual for an Olivetti Lettera 22 Typewriter. The Lettera 22 was the pinnacle of 1950s typewriters (MoMA even have one in their permanent collection), a true luxury item, and the manual testifies to this. The type is filled with quirky detailing, such as the massive bold numerals on pretty much every page.

Epic Win FTW New Gravy Train for Mags | STARWORKS (Conde Nast: Vogue, Lucky) 2010 is all about new strategies for print magazines. Announced yesterday, Vogue and Lucky, are launching partnerships this week with e-commerce shopping sites. The once comfy and plush Conde Nast titles have been motivated to think “out of box” in terms of revenue. All this climate makes for creative solutions and better 360 experiences for the consumer. Today, a website called theOutnet.com (Net-a-porter’s outlet site) will be boasting some “flash sales” exclusively with Lucky. (Websites: Gilt Groupe, Net-a-Porter) Imagine that every Friday (for 4 weeks in a row), only Lucky’s newsletter subscribers will have access to, for example, a 3.1 Phillip Lim jacket at discount rate. Another example of print mags jumping in bed with e-commerce is Vogue’s “Steal of the Month” page in their print magazine now offering ready-to-wear looks that are less than $500 on Gilt Groupe.

Thinking for a Living™ How can I learn my job? I'm an attorney. My workplace has little or no formal training. The only time I learn things is when I do things wrong. I work for a small law firm. To compound the problem, there really isn't any sort of a centralized base of knowledge. I've tried to read the local rules and the statutes for each jurisdiction we deal with, but I still seem to mess things up from time to time.

Not Always Right | Funny & Stupid Customer Quotes My First Tweet: Find Your First Words Maitresse: Amélie Nothomb and the country of never The latest issue of Tim House features an interview with Amélie Nothomb, by the magazine's Paris editor, Heather Hartley. In between talking about Rilke, writing as pregnancy, and the importance of boredom, Hartley asks Nothomb about her concept of being a -- a state of being without country, of having never had a country, that struck me as an interesting way of looking at a familiar problem. Here's the passage: {*style: HH: In The Life of Hunger , you created the neologism “jamaisien” [in French “jamais” means “never”]—denoting someone from the “country of never.” How do you recognize yourself in this idea? AN: In the whole idea. HH: Yes, on a lot of levels, and in different ways—as a woman, as a writer, as a foreigner living in France . . . AN: At the same time there are enormously very fine, wonderful sides to it [this idea of being “jamaisien”.] But at the same time, it’s true that it’s also a lack, a deficiency. AN: Absolutely.
