      Going back and forth between “the writing part” (strategy) and some, incredibly tactical nuance can be a real challenge.

      Small tasks provide respite and a sense of accomplishment, but there come in infinite amounts and for a detail-oriented person can easily completely take over. Dealing with larger questions is necessary, but it often feels vague and comes without a progress bar.

      Today, in the process of getting someone to help me figure out big strategic editing questions, I had to build a Python typesetter *inside a font creating program* to help me create a key font. Otherwise, making 517 necessary glyphs would take an infinite amount of time.pic.twitter.com/IfQaUgAQDd

      It’s a very complicated and large to-do tree, and I keep jumping from one faraway branch to another. I’m not saying it’s bad or even that I know how to do it any other way – but sometimes it’s hard to even wrap my head around what’s going on.

      My newsletter has become an unexpected forcing function he: every ~50 days I need to step back and give a succinct update. (Also! many thanks and kudos to @djrrb for allowing me to play with the pre-release variable font version of his excellent typeface Output!)pic.twitter.com/dZY9TNQJO3

      I was at the Computer History Museum today and my keyboard research allowed me to give some advice and background to the IBM 1620 restoration team (which seems awesome), and now I really feel like a historian!

      If I never had much nostalgia for analogue photography, this might be why: with digital, I can get from farm to table within 10 minutes. It’s almost too much fun. (This is just a test spread. I don’t imagine this particular keyboard making it into the book.)pic.twitter.com/8Nz2laCGqY

      My lord, I have enough photos of keyboard diagrams that my iPhone thinks a keyboard is a *person in my life*. And when I tap Show Faces, it just creepily zooms in on one random key.pic.twitter.com/qCVMvsatqK
