The Ultimate Hacking Keyboard
(link via Lobsters)
has a unique design,
looking like a slightly-undersized normal keyboard but one that can split in half to allow for ergonomic positioning.
It also split the spacebar in half, with the right side being the spacebar,
and the leftside being another modifier key
(personally,
I would map the modifer key to backspace—it makes sense to me).
I'm also glad to see them use a real mechanical switch with various models having differing “stiffness” factors
(I really like the clicky keyboards).
I do like the ability to mimic the mouse from the keyboard though.
The price,
however,
is a bit on the high side.
But then again,
I haven't spent more than $20 for a keyboard
(even used,
the IBM Model M are solid enough to bludegon lusers with and yet,
have a wonderful feel,
if they are bit “clicky”).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
