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

(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!)

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

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.

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 …

I got this on eBay for very little. I think it hides a really cool 1990s keyboard, but I’m only going to open it up when I’m finished with the third draft of the book. Also, I might do an unboxing video. Let me know if you’d watch such a thing?pic.twitter.com/p4PSAYu6Bx

A very nice Twitter moment where a bunch of people came together to solve a little keyboard mystery:https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/1114641852022415360 …

Had it on the docket today to rewrite a chapter a certain way, only to discover *I have already done that at some point.* 0_O Started a five-day effort this morning to finish the third draft. Wish me luck!

One of the many fun moments in this process: chatting with Hartmut Esslinger about why computers became beige/grey, how many shades of beige/grey are there (more than I expected), and what role did keyboards play in all this.

Just a romantic photo of a sun setting on new research. (It’s one of my favourite parts: finding and reading through the most obscure books on the subject.)pic.twitter.com/M9gHpdVOof
