As Listed Buildings go, this one is pretty unusual, as it was only ever in situ for a short length of time.
This structure at Farnborough was built in 1912 and designed to house airships, and could be moved as required. When in use, it would have been covered with some form of canvas.
However, by the end of 1913, this project was abandoned and the framework was recycled, with the lower portion being used in Building Q65 nearby (by 1917) and the upper part incorporated in Building R51 in 1914, also nearby.
Following the closure of the RAE Factory site in 1998, those components were saved and in 2004 re-assembled to show how they once were all those years ago, and now form a centrepiece in the modern business park immediately north of the airfield.

THE FAULKNER PORTABLE
William Faulkner’s Underwood Universal Portable typewriter, rests on a tiny desk his stepson helped him build. It's the highlight of the Rowan Oak experience for many visitors, even though this room was part of the open back porch until Faulkner spent part of a Random House advance to enclose it in l952, long after he had written his seminal Compson and Sartoris family novels.
He insisted that this room not be called his "study." According to biographer Joseph Blotner, "he did not study in it, so there was no sense in calling it that. It was the 'office,' the traditional name for the room in the plantation houses where the business was transacted."
As to the typewriter itself, Underwood introduced its Universal Portable in the mid-l930's among a full line of portables such as Champion, Noiseless Portable and Junior. Faulkner had a habit of buying used portables locally, wearing them out, then trading them in on more used portables.
This Underwood was one of at least three typewriters in Faulkner`s possession at the time of his death (the University of Virginia has one, too). So, this is no more "the" typewriter any more than those square carpenter`s pencils next to it are "the" pencils. Had Faulkner lived a few more years, this machine would have met the same fate as the rest. Still, the room has a resonance.
Taking the photo:
BOOK magazine was publishing an article of mine on "Yoknapatourism," [see the text of it below] and thinking (mistakenly) that the editors hadn`t already selected a photographer, I returned to Oxford on a rainy October afternoon to make my own pictures for submission. The travel piece was eventually illustrated with sunny-day brochure shots, but I was happy to keep this one for myself.
There was no direct lighting within the office, so I let the film take its time, soaking up faint incandescent glow from the library and main hallway, which neatly balanced the cloudy daylight. I used the camera`s timer so my hand wouldn't jostle the tripod, and I even backed out of the room--in part to let the scarce light do its work and, I think, because I wanted Faulkner`s office truly vacant.
Trivia: The book sitting next to William Faulkner's typewriter is the 1939 edition of Writer's Market

Why have a little ultra portable computer when you could have a computer that transports itself?
What I find interesting is how the background reflecting off the glass used as a floor doesn't look much like a reflection. There is a whitish streak on the right side that is clearly a reflection, but the rest of the background highlights don't seem to match up. All the highlights were above the glass.
The checkerboard can be folded with the game pieces locked inside.

My old Game Gear still had some life left in it tonight. So I popped in a new game I hadn't played before, Portable Ninja. The goal of this game is to destroy as many time pieces (called 'minutes', you can even destroy 'hours' if you're good enough) as possible while traveling through a dark tunnel reaching out for a posing voice in the dark. It sounds pretty lame, but the reward for beating it is pretty cool.
I've heard there are tons of alternate endings in this game. Guess I'll have to play through again to see what different outcomes there are. I have other new games to try also, and I don't even feel that I played as well as I could've tonight.
