![]() But with the appealing memory of looking at a plain page that gradually filled with my thoughts, no special formatting required (or, possible).įor a blogger like me, there are pluses and minuses to Ommwriter. Without, of course, the frustration of having to get out Whiteout or correction tape when I made a typing mistake. Ommwriter takes me back to my high school and college days when I wrote (a lot) on a typewriter - a manual at first, then an electric. Technology can be complicatedly overwhelming, even when fashioned by Apple. I appreciate what they've created, and the intentions behind Ommwriter. The Ommwriter folks want a minimum payment of $4.11, saying that monetary gifts which end in a "1" are auspicious, so they ask that whatever you give them, make it end with "1." After playing with it for a while I decided to fork over a few PayPal bucks for the Dana II version, which has some extra options. This morning I first downloaded a free version of Ommwriter. You've got a few font options, a few type size options, some choices about what sort of screen to stare at while you write (I'm looking at a solid background which slowly changes colors in a relaxing manner), a variety of choices for both background sound and keyboard-press sound (I've turned off the background sound so I can better hear the chirp that accompanies each character I type, much like the old days of a clickety-clack typewriter), and some options for saving what you write. A few clickable options appear to the right when you stop typing and move your pointer outside of the (resizable) writing box. I was intrigued by the mention of a text editor which starts you off with a utterly blank screen. ![]() I'm composing it on Ommwriter, a minimalist word processor that I came across today via one of the blogs I follow which keep track of what's happening in the oh-so-cool world of Apple. Does this post of mine seem more Zen-like than usual? It should.
