The Guardian reports that “The Other Typist” will become a movie. Keira Knightley has signed on.

Unclear if Knightley will play the protagonist/narrator Rose, or the new typist, Odalie, who shakes up the squad room with her Jazz-Age morals and mysterious past. Will Mavis Beacon appear in the credits? Will they get the machines correct? Will they use a hand double for the typing scenes? (Hey, Matt, break out the nail polish!)

FLASH: Steven Huang, the organizer of the Foldie Foodie (a ride in which folder bike fans explore NYC eateries) has recently become a typewriter gee– , er, aficionado.  (Steven co-produced the recent Manhattan Type-IN)  He realized that there was a conflict, with one of his rides taking place on International Typewriter Day.  Thus, in an audacious, Solomonic, cross-technological move, Mr. H has hybridized his ride, so to speak, arranging to have typewriters at each of the restaurants the ride visits. When? Well, tomorrow, SUNDAY, June 23rd.  

If you have a folder bike, like typing, or eating or all three (sequentially, not simultaneously!), this could be your cup of ramen.  Find out more here:   www.brommieyummie.com

I am 50% likely to come up from Philadelphia with my folder bike and a Lettera 22. Things like this don’t happen every day, y’know.

Now you’ve heard the story / Just one one thing to do for me                                               Bring a Phillips-head at midnight / Counter-clockwise sets me free                                                                                  Let me walk until I break down /There’s so much out there to see.
