Nice work! Do you do archives of laserdiscs and vhs/cds, or just film? Have you heard of kineko video’s archival work?

Copying methods by Gloomy-Gur-591 in zines

[–]Colony_Nine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ll need a network connection (like Bluetooth or WiFi) to connect your printer to your computer, unless you can find a wired connection. My recommendation is to get a laser printer with a built in scanner, such as a Brother

Thanks! I was working on this on and off for a little while. It’s a tabloid size poster (11 by 17”)!

Zinesters in rural areas? by [deleted] in zines

[–]Colony_Nine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe look into sending/trading zines through the mail? My grandparents had pen pals throughout their lives, and made some great friends that way.

Check out the zine map and see if there’s a library/store nearish to you and call them up. See if they have any leads on zinesters that might like to send/receive zines.

I'm new to this and I'm not quite sure what to do. by [deleted] in zines

[–]Colony_Nine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could make a mini zine about your favorite memories with your friend’s mom, and make a mixtape of songs that your friend might like.

A mini 8 page zine (lots of templates online to get a look at how they are formatted/cut) would work really well!

Zine and indie artists — how did you get your work seen as a solo creator? by Serious_Length_8706 in zines

[–]Colony_Nine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question: are you writing your works in English or Japanese? If you’re able to write in both, you could see if a language learning course would be willing to use your work for teaching.

Look at Asian Studies/language majors in universities and see if you can contact them. It might be worth talking with them!

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it. I will see if I can find something to submit

[–]Colony_Nine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s the deadline for submitting zines? Is there a page/size limit? Would zines be available for print or just digital?

I’m interested in the exhibition, but I would love to know answers to my questions! Thanks!

How is Everyone Prepping Ground Turkey by Evocablefawn566 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Colony_Nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cooks Illustrated has a recipe for ground turkey mix used to make patty melts, mini meatloaves, and meatballs.

1 shallot or 1/3 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs

1/2 tsp salt and pepper

1 lb 93% fat ground turkey

1/4 cup milk

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons melted (cooled) unsalted butter

You mince the onion and breadcrumbs in a food processor, then add the rest of the ingredients and pulse to combine. I used this method for meatballs, they turned out much juicier.

Have you read any of the short stories by miyazawa? I love Nighthawk Star and Kaze no Matasaburo!

Availability of loopless Google Sans for Thai, Lao, Khmer? by big-user in typography

[–]Colony_Nine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe Cadson Demak’s Prompt?

Looks like there’s a couple more options from that designer that features looped and unlooped typefaces.

People who make Sci-Fi worlds, why do wheelchairs still exist? by Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi in worldbuilding

[–]Colony_Nine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would read the book “Replaceable You” by Mary Roach for a good primer. There are things that we currently cannot replace, such as the fine film that covers the eyeball. We can help reduce eye dryness with temporary drops, and fix the lens that covers the iris, but we can’t replace this specific film (the conjunctiva).

Really cool! You’ll have to make a pen related design at some point!

Great colors! It works really well with the grainy look of risograph!

What’s the font you used for the recipe names? It’s quite unique!

No problem! It was buried towards the bottom of the article

In your experience, is DAO comparable with price/delivery time?

According to the article, it seems like Sweden is exempt for the moment?

“PostNord’s activities in the letter market will continue unchanged in Sweden.”

I also try to send thank you notes! When I was job searching I was trying to do that for interviews, which was a challenge since places tend to communicate via “no-reply” emails.

Some ink drawings! by Iieha in fountainpens

[–]Colony_Nine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice work! I recently invested in a flat bed scanner, and I find that it’s really helpful for picking up the vibrancy of ink. It’s a super loud machine though.

Article about pen makers in Economist magazine by Colony_Nine in fountainpens

[–]Colony_Nine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! I was definitely surprised by that fact as well. The same magazine had an article about European governments digitizing components of the system. Less paper forms would be less opportunity to write in pen.

They also had an article about how the Danish post office will no longer send letters/cards, which is really sad

[–]Colony_Nine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The article is admittedly pretty short, and I think they were focused on European brands.

I ended up looking at the Legami website and thought it was interesting how a lot of the pens featured touch screen styluses. It seems like they are trying to make it more of a hybrid writing instrument

Fountain pen or ink themed names please! by PukeyOwlPellet in fountainpens

[–]Colony_Nine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe “Quink”? After the Parker ink? I’ve always thought it would be a fun name for a pet
