This is so fun. A Japanese transit museum sent me back a printed and annotated photo of a very specific keyboard, after I asked them about it.pic.twitter.com/JyHigMtiSs

Really love when people send me even tiny keyboard photos and observations. I appreciate each and every one of those!https://twitter.com/JonBruner/status/971240286415355909 …

Just sent out my latest book newsletter, which includes links to longer essays about what I found amazing, and what I found scary and unpleasant while writing the first draft of the book: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/shift-happens/issues/bigger-in-japan-92348 … (Also, keyboards in Japan, obvi.)
Dedicating this weekend to reading my manuscript from cover to cover for the first time ever. I suspect this will be really tough – seeing all the many warts I know exist, any many I don’t – but there’s no way around it.
(Also, it’s really fun to say “my manuscript.” Someone just reminded me that’s the right word to use.)
The funniest/most embarrassing mistake I found in my book so far: writing “Scott Glenn” (the actor famous for portraying an astronaut in the movie The Right Stuff) when I meant to write “David Scott,” the, you know, actual Moon-landing astronaut. 
A little over two years ago, I decided to try giving a 5-minute Ignite talk about keyboards, to see if there is any interest in people hearing these stories – and if I’m any good at it. It was sort of a trial balloon. It went well. (You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDQyR2niiXc …)
This month, I gave a 40-minute talk that was just basically *one chapter of my book,* and it went… even better. And that makes me excited. There are clearly so many stories here, and it is possible to share them in interesting ways.
Do you have a video of that talk? The 5 minutes one was great.
Thanks! It wasn’t recorded – but I’ll be giving it again in November, and that version should be.
