Good news, though: The chapters I wrote later in the process were so much better. That means, I think, I’m becoming better at this, right…?

Next stops? Need to rewrite a bunch of things towards the second manuscript, including the beginning. (I have tons of TKs inside, and notes outside.) Then, show it to more people.pic.twitter.com/Oq4w1KxZIN

These icons make sense to me today. But I’m pretty sure that won’t be the case tomorrow.pic.twitter.com/mppnZ4Uj6y

On a completely unrelated thread, someone just showed me this fascinating keyboard I’ve never heard of. I believe that at this point in my life EVERYTHING WILL SOONER OR LATER CONNECT TO KEYBOARDS.https://twitter.com/AJKandy/status/995017378789441536 …

A.J. Kandy @AJKandyReplying to @chriswearly @mwicharyHere's a fun example of an early 80s synthesizer that had a rare (at the time) 14-segment alpha display: The Kawai SX-240. You could type on the keyboard to name your patches. Not long after, the industry switched to LCD and VFD, and LED was relegated to numeric displays only. pic.twitter.com/8qcD9EhnCt3 replies 0 retweets 14 likesShow this thread -
Case in point: I just plotted a drive to a park I had bookmarked for years. I zoom in to see where the Google Maps route drops me off and I see… a keyboard maker. 0_Opic.twitter.com/LAlpwTRlZO

I just randomly stumbled upon photos of trial title slides for the first talk I ever gave about keyboards, internally at Medium in 2014. (The last one was what I went with.)pic.twitter.com/HMjFLpUdh5

…which nicely dovetails into something a friend just sent to me, which is *holy crap amazing* and one more great reason to finish the book. (Not that I already don’t have a few…)pic.twitter.com/mG6D9XPjGn

Unexpected part of writing the book: testing different microphones for recording my voice and also the sound of keystrokes.pic.twitter.com/nidYz6knHG

Rewrote the opening chapter today, and then played a bit with Blender to see if I can render a nice key. Still a lot of improvements to be made, but could be an interesting visual option.pic.twitter.com/BxcqF32ua5

Thanks! It’s been so long since I’ve done 3D modeling. (Not that I have ever been very good at it.)
