Just 99 minutes left to back a Model 100 (or two) at the Kickstarter-only price. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/keyboardio/model-100?ref=3xz92q
TFW your child leaves a stuffed animal in the bathroom…and then you notice that it’s scared.
I don’t have a SoundCloud, but the Kickstarter campaign for a very fancy computer keyboard I designed wraps up tomorrow.*

* LEGO® Minifig compatible keycap not included. It’s just something we’re playing around with for the future.
Six minutes to midnight and 3 keyboards away from $750k.

Yeah, wow. Big progress happening in keyboardioland tonight. But I thought I got to sleep tonight.
TFW your supplier finally finds the material you need and tells you that they can’t guarantee the supply for more than 24 hours.
I can’t think of a more appropriate tweet from which to discover that Oracle makes a Twitter client.

What are folks using for systems to keep track of all of the things you have asked other people to do/that they owe you?
2019: Every month of preschool means I get at least one new cold.
2021: Same, but now with a side order of panic, a brain-tickling nasal swab, and a couple days of punting all possible human interaction before the negative test comes back.
Feeling very seen.

My long-awaited (by two people) CITIZEN KANE story:
After NYU, I was working in a film restoration lab in NYC. It had two employees. Me. And a crazy, secretive Yugoslavian chemist that had devised a treatment that could remove most scratches from film.

COVID-19 has gotten more contagious, so it’s more important than ever to get vaccinated. Vaccines are safe, and the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones. Go to http://vaccines.gov to find one near you.
