This was meant to be mounted atop Commodore 64 (which I don’t have), an interesting reversal from the early typewriters being nothing more than repurposed music keyboards.

23. 24. 25. Halfway through! I need a bit of a break. Is this interesting? Should I keep going!? 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. And here is Canon Cat, maybe my favourite failed machine of all time. Look at these Leap keys! I’m somewhat in love with this machine. https://newsletter.shifthappens.site/archive/adult-onset-felinophilia/ That’s it! I hope you liked this sneak peek of my collection– if you did, consider backing the book since this is the level of quality I’ve been aiming at for the visual side… there are a lot more photos like these, and of course a lot more great stories attached to them. @mwichary gah. I really want this book but can't really justify it. Maybe there'll be an edition in future that I will treat myself to ❤️ @mwichary: Thanks for that thread. Gives me much more of an idea what to expect from your book. @mwichary this was awesome! Thank you! I can’t wait to get the book. @mwichary Your book is gorgeous, I backed your kickstarter within minutes of being notified, and I look forward to receiving it. But perhaps a photo gallery (e.g. Flickr or Google Photos) or a traditional blog may be better for publishing dozens of photos. Doing so on a microblogging platform saturates the feed. @amoroso What’s really nice in this scenario is the engagement – people can comment and share individual photos or talk to each other about a specific keyboard that resonated with them. With a blog post or Flickr or whatever you get a monolithic dead gallery. Thanks for backing! |

These two are taking this idea even further – mount these overlays on regular keyboards to turn them into new kinds of interfaces.
