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

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 …

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
First I discover a keyboard on a cable car, and today my spying resulted in discovering a keyboard in the cable car *barn* as well. (A CNC machine, I think?)pic.twitter.com/1FuUDBwAm2
So close! Just one more tricky chapter to rewrite, plus a handful of to-do items and TKs to cover.pic.twitter.com/dcSTqYmk4C
FINISHED THE THIRD DRAFT!!!!!!!!! Didn’t cut as much as I wanted, plus there are probably at least two more drafts to do… but I don’t want to think about this now. The book is getting better and better, and for some time at least I can focus on visuals, instead of writing. :·)
Buy my book (eventually) to understand this cryptic conversation!https://twitter.com/jeffkisseloff/status/1118570953410269184 …
A shot of a key being photographed from something close to the perspective of a key is a bit frightening! (The box on the left is propping up an old iPhone serving as a light source.)pic.twitter.com/SS0F0aDpAd
My book is now leading me to some heavy interlibrary drama and intrigue!pic.twitter.com/daMeGMwfGg
That feeling when you persevere, and finally find the photo you want – and then realize it was hard to find because of a *typo*.pic.twitter.com/Moly3yDmA1
