This is a keyboard I actually made. It only outputs spaces. Since this is my first keyboard, I call it a “space cadet keyboard.”
I might actually be done with the first draft in a week which is… surreal.pic.twitter.com/BQd8YRJgho

A theme from one of my many, many folders: Languages did never not change, and we did never not worry about them changing.pic.twitter.com/XjoQMl9Skz
Just now, for the first time, I put together in my head the words that will end my book. It was a surprisingly emotional moment. (They might still change, but it doesn’t matter.)
Things I didn’t expect to be doing while writing this book: helping the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum identify a teleprinter keyboard that was used in the Washington–Moscow cold war hotline.
So.
Yes, I’m not kidding. I just finished writing.
(I… I don’t know what to say. I’ll follow this up with something more useful/interesting/poignant/whatever – eventually – but… I just finished writing.)pic.twitter.com/M58Y21jf3g
Some first draft stats! Each key I mention at least three times, word count, and specific word battles. (If you like those, there’ll be quite a few more + commentary in the new newsletter in a week or so: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/shift-happens/ …)pic.twitter.com/jyuJt6mGCc
There’s still a lot of work ahead – rewriting, editing, production, publishing – and still many unknowns, but I don’t think anything that follows will require nearly as much effort as this first draft.
(Please don’t stop sending me interesting keyboard-related things you stumble upon!)
It’s funny how the pile of the books I still want to read *alone* is larger than all the books I had when I started. (Although, to be fair, the remaining books are much more specific – they might just have one or two details I want.)pic.twitter.com/tshdOMZUbg
…and here’s the guide to the sticky wall, then and now. (It’s a nice and fun way to see the entire book at once, and designed to see important large-scale patterns. I can imagine it will be even more useful when editing.)pic.twitter.com/xcLlgzXv2n
