Okay, this I have to share. Alton Brown (celebrity geek chef) likes to tweet using post-it notes. Just because it's cooler that way. Tonight, for some reason, he's been using a typewriter rather than hand-drawing as he usually does. Someone asked him about it, saying it seemed a little nutty.
His response is here.
If you don't want to click through or are using a screen reader, the picture is a typed note inside a hand-drawn word balloon:
"No. What's a little nutty is that I don't have just 1 typerwriter. I have 7. Actually 7 that work. I have even more that don't. I also have a telegraph set. Oh, and some coffee cans with string running between them. And I have a Gutenberg press. And a telex, and a mimeograph machine."
This is what happened next:
Description: Alton responded to my tweet asking if he could use the telegraph to tweet in morse code with a typed note in morse code. It says: "Yes, I'd be happy to do that." (Except the apostrophe got split by a line break, so it looks like WG. I'm just impressed he used punctuation at all.)
That was too awesome not to share. :)
