      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. 😬pic.twitter.com/tdRh9WO4Pp

      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

      This might seem like the most ridiculous manual approach, but this way I will know exactly which special characters are in the book – and be ready to make sure they’re eventually typeset properly. Also, fun to see a good ol’ manicule right next to the only emoji in my book.pic.twitter.com/1FIWagg5AM

      I was recently on @mathowie’s awesome podcast Hobby Horse, talking about Pac-Man, the Phelan Building, Medium, and – chiefly – the sequence of events that led to the keyboard book, and where am I with it today. https://twitter.com/mathowie/status/1005621336738152449?s=21 …

      The project’s become difficult again – so it goes – and America is breaking my heart, so this milestone feels hollow, and yet: For the first time, I sent the book in its entirety for someone to read and give me feedback. Egads!
