Today, I finished untangling it, reaching an amazing milestone of finishing the last chapter that ties this whole arc together. (Sic!)
This arc might be the backbone of the book; it’s the story of what happened to keyboards between typewriters and computers today.
Here’s the list of chapters I wrote, and the corresponding titles and keys.pic.twitter.com/Byng6PNDQP
You might recognize a lot of the keys as still on your keyboard, which is why this is so exciting – each era influenced where we are today.
I’ve never seen anyone talk about it this way, and I always wanted to. Now I can. And, I suppose, I just did. :·)
More chapters have been written, and more will have to be. I still need to write the tough ones about QWERTY, ergonomics, and sexism…
…but this, *this* thing, this milestone, this feels incredible right now. And tomorrow, I’m taking a day off. \õ/pic.twitter.com/C4XUumlmfW
