Koss PortaPro Typewritten Review

I figured I'd do a quick review of one of the best electronic devices I own, the Koss PortaPro portable headphones. They've been with me through tough times in college, and I still enjoy using them. Here it is!



side view - note the firmness selector



the temple pads allow for even distribution of clamping force across the sides of the head

Folded up - the clip/hook design is not very "locked in place" and springs open readily. Case recommended.

Gold 3.5mm plug.

This is how they look - very '80s, but they work! They also conveniently bypass the glasses "support beams" and so do not press them against my head.

1967 Underwood Touch-Master 5!

Hi everyone,

I thought I would flesh out this review a bit more, but realized with all that's going on (major changes happening lately) I would never have the motivation to really do this typewriter full justice with a thorough cleaning and review, so here is what I had typed up, and some pictures from my phone, on and of this new typewriter!

This is the spring-assembly I needed to re-seat.

First Poem in Years

Hi everyone,
Figured I'd write another poem - this one took three tries but I think I got it to a point where I could post it. This is my first poem here in at least 2 years, I think...

This poem was brought to you by my new typewriter! Stay tuned for the full post about it!
