We are now on a vintage Italian trolley for a final ride back to the library. PLOT TWIST: Even the trolley has a keyboard.pic.twitter.com/EopXDLICZ6
Returned the thesis to be sent back to its home and likely never ever again leave its shelf, except PLOT TWIST I also scanned it so you can all read it now: https://archive.org/details/TheRemingtonRandConsolidation …pic.twitter.com/19YwlC3Z1m
Walking past library stacks, on a lark I randomly picked up a volume of Time and then let it open wherever it wanted. Of course it was something related to keyboards.pic.twitter.com/jMStoIeYYi
Uploading scanned papers to @internetarchive while waiting to board my plane like a goddamn *pro.*pic.twitter.com/erdEhnCWo7
…and I immediately spent whatever karma I gained by finding an accessible keyboard with a nice 16-segment display.pic.twitter.com/57md66Nbyx
My interurban bus got pulled over by German police earlier today (routine Schengen Area passport control, it turned out) and I’m immediately like “oooh, what is that keyboard?”pic.twitter.com/wQnGtO5kLH
Some great news on the book front, and momentum – after many months of feeling stuck. (Still a bit overwhelmed with the amount of work needing to be done, but I feel I understand what that will be, at least.)
One interesting thing about collating a lot of information about a single subject over time is that you see fun patterns, e.g.pic.twitter.com/cZh4hEzXDk
Here’s another one (and this is all just tweets that appeared in my timeline or were shared with me without searching):pic.twitter.com/jVmC4CP2wE
(I have gotten some great comments on my book from a few people who read the current draft. Not just positive, of course. :·) Will credit them and give more of an update when the smoke clears!)
That time of year where you have to split a book tower into two smaller book towers to prevent a collapse.pic.twitter.com/73ZNkhyMIP
Oh, lord. Remember the fictional character of Jessie K. Board (which was my iPhone AI misidentifying many keyboard photos as an actual person)?https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/1033975439734132736 …
Now iPhone suggests sharing new keyboard photos with that person. Is this god telling me “you’ve gone too far with this keyboard stuff.”pic.twitter.com/Bn3QVhpZZu
These are also photos iOS thinks are of keyboards. It’s actually pretty hilarious!pic.twitter.com/xrjrXRQG5G
I suspected the day would come where in my research I’d stumble upon a thing Google knows nothing about.pic.twitter.com/oSNUNwKyWF
Major surgery on a few troubled chapters. This is a bit scary; as much writing as rampant copying and pasting, and the feeling I won’t fully know how it all worked out until I re-read it with fresh eyes in a few weeks.pic.twitter.com/CRnB4lUl7I
Just wrote the opening chapter from scratch again for the third time. I’m genuinely curious how many times it’s going to take, in the end.pic.twitter.com/IRT85kbjeB
Dig deep enough and you will find a (pretty weird) keyboard even in an office espresso machine.pic.twitter.com/Wr3vS2MWOW
Guess who I interviewed today! All the clues are in the photo. ^_^pic.twitter.com/jrrGsrTNtL
Felt very accomplished with rewriting today. Combined two chapters into one chapter with half the words; it feels leaner *and* I embedded it more into the chronology *and* I centered it all around a cool new person.
Ten most cursed folders in my keyboard research database.pic.twitter.com/T7sZRkjJrf
I didn’t expect there to be secret documents in the area of keyboard research.pic.twitter.com/h4tKfxKap5
All these is what Artificial Intelligence thinks are keyboards. (The last one is both hilarious and inspired.)pic.twitter.com/I1qmzaA5Gy
These kinds of small moments of preservation make me really happy. Here is a booklet from late 19th century you can all read with me: https://archive.org/details/RemingtonTypewriterFurniture …pic.twitter.com/jxmOoK7pvl
Very happy with how the latest book newsletter issue turned out, even though I accidentally almost destroyed my camera while filming me typing on the one keyboard in my apartment that’s not meant for typing. Lucky 13!https://www.getrevue.co/profile/shift-happens/issues/the-italian-senate-survival-manual-151502 …
