The member area of the site has been improved! Now the member directory highlights new, recently active, and quick-to-reply members. Send a welcome letter to a new member. Easily discover members who are actively using the site. And if your patience is running low, send a letter to a quick reply member.

Even more exciting is a new chatroom! Between meetings, members can hang out in the chatroom to talk typewriters or anything else. This feature is currently being beta tested, so it is limited to five members at a time. 

Are there other member features you would like to see? Let me know.

It was just a couple weeks ago that I discovered that the video on the Typewriter Club LIVE page of this site was not connecting to the livestream. After a couple attempts, I have fixed (and tested!) it. So you can now watch Typewriter Club LIVE from the comfort of the Type Pals website.

Better yet, why not join us on-screen via Zoom? Or for the camera-shy, join us in the comments on YouTube.

Regardless, thank you for watching and participating!

I apologize for the technical difficulties today, but I have rescheduled Ask Joe Van Cleave for September 19, 2021 at 11 am Pacific. You can register for the event to receive reminders here:

Joe has graciously agreed to reschedule. Thanks, Joe!

And--too late for today, of course--the internet issue appears to have been resolved. I had to force some software and OS updates. So fingers crossed!

Our test run will be next week's regular meeting, Sunday, September 12 at 9 am Pacific. Please note the new start time! I hope to see you there.

The August 1 meeting had to be rescheduled for August 8. A special Type Pals-related opportunity has arisen that will have me out of the house at the regular time of our meeting. Sorry to disappoint!

An opportunity for a weekend getaway fell into our laps, so there will be no meeting on July 25. That meeting has been moved to August 1. Thank you for understanding!

It was decided to proceed with a meeting on 4th of July. Though I hope to see you then, we will understand if you have other plans. But perhaps you can take part in one of our other July events. We have a lot going on, so be sure to check it all out here.

Most notably, I hope you can support our very own Bob Marshall by attending his event, “Typewriter Muse: Inspiration in Analog", in person or via YouTube.

Thank you all for being a part of Type Pals and Typewriter Club LIVE! I appreciate your support.

This is just a reminder that there will be no meeting on June 20 due to Father's Day. I look forward to seeing you again on June 27!

With the new website, I've struggled finding the perfect place for the Typewriter Club LIVE Show Notes. I tried putting them in the forums, but the forums see very little use. I sent them in an email newsletter, but emails are marked as spam for some members, and the video could not be embedded. So I decided they deserved their own page, easily accessible from the top menu bar. Is this a good place for them? Let me know what you think!

Woo-hoo!

We reached our first milestone with the new site: 50 members. Thank you all for being a part of this. I hope you are finding the site useful for making Type Pal connections. As always, let me know how I can help.
