      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

      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 …

      Here'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/8qcD9EhnCt

      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

      Might be better with the rest of the keyboard included for context (perhaps somewhat blurred).

      But as I think about it, my preference would be for a high-res photo of the Remington 2 keyboard, with the shift key modified to say "Shift Happens".

          For the cover of your book. Emphasis, of course, on "YOUR" book. But I can't help having opinions. Looking forward to reading it.

          Why Remington 2?
