June 23 marks the 144th anniversary of the date Christopher Latham Sholes received a U.S. patent on the typewriter. It’s International Typewriter Day, so grab your portable and type something! And if you have lots of time and patience… bake a cake!

Readers of this blog and UPPERCASE magazine will know that I have a passion for typewriters. In honour of International Typewriter Day, I invite you to peruse my past typewriter posts.
