Life goal #231
Learn to boogie like Billy Preston.

I grew up in the printing industry. I saw that it could be done to make a living but it wasn’t putting anyone on the fast track to prosperity. I am sure I even mentioned a time or two that I had a plan of getting out of it sooner rather than later.
Hand-bindery work is where I spent most of my formative years but after a short hiatus in college from printing, I found myself back inside a shop the last couple of years at university. Though I moved up to the use of actual machines for most of my bindery work, it was still bindery work.
There isn’t much I miss about being in a print shop. My list would probably be on one hand if I narrowed it down but lately I have had an affinity towards – and a fond remembrance of – the letterpress.
My favorite machine (as I remember it now) to run was called the Heidelberg Windmill.

SXSWi 2009: Sketchnotes
With all the craze of live-blogging and twittering different events these days, it’s a little refreshing to see somebody doing it the old fashioned way. This guy possesses a skill that I would trade a finger from my left-hand for, the ability to make magic with a pen and paper.
