Last month I mentioned a Commodore-64 designed out of Lego.
Back then,
it was just a design,
but now it actually exists!
There are two keyboards—one where a real Commodore-64 keyboard has the keycaps swapped out for Lego keycaps,
and the second keyboard is a fully mechanical Lego design.
I think it would be possible to use the pure Lego keyboard on a real computer,
but it would probably require a custom PCB to handle the different mechanical action.
Size wise,
it's a perfect fit though.
And boy,
does it have that sweet clicky sound of a mechanical keyboard.
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.
