Canon’s pitch for the Cat. Two keys under the space bar instead of a mouse: hold one, type where you want to be, let go. Most of what I want out of owl was worked out in 1987 and then discontinued.
This little corner of my website is where I collect things from the everyday goings-on in my life. It’s a chronicle, exhibit, and junk-drawer all at once. I have not had a social media profile in quite a few years now, so this part of my website fills a similiar purpose to what those places did for me in years past.

Recreating the Canon Cat document interface
Alexander Obenauer on rebuilding the Canon Cat’s document interface. The bit I keep coming back to is from the Cat’s own How-To Guide:

It’s validating to see that other people are having this problem too, and working with old computers to help them write.
