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

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. :·)

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

Have to wonder what inspired the sloping key shape. Your pics got a micro-Aztec city vibe..pic.twitter.com/MUO3qIcHXm

Wide bottom provides stability and doesn’t allow debris to get into the keyboard. Curved top guides your finger towards the center and accommodates the curve of your finger tip. Edges (top narrower than base) give feedback to your finger if you’re really off center.

All that is legit. Also, flaring out means less debris gets inside. And you need a bit of a draft angle for injection molding.
