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
Okay, something amazing just happened. I peeked into one chapter to check something – the one about teletypes and terminals – started reading it and… couldn’t put it down. I couldn’t put down my own book!
(This is… not a familiar feeling, or something I really know how to even wrap my head around.)
Finished the second draft! Rewrote the opening and the ending, rearranged the most confusing things, cleaned up tons of small challenging bits.
This is the first version of the book I’d be happy to show to people in its entirety.

Unexpected benefit of writing a book – creating an RTF to HTML converter. (I’m not sarcastic. I’ve always been curious. What a weird format it’s been so far.)pic.twitter.com/XUR6CUdS2w
