Good morning, friends. 🌺💮🌻

25 July 2025

Charlie came in early this morning to badger me about breakfast—still fifteen minutes away. He kept nudging my keyboard with his nose, persistent and focused, while it rested on my lap. I told him to lie down, but had to repeat myself; he was determined to get me moving. When the clock finally ticked over to mealtime, I stood and announced, “Time to eat—go outside,” and he bolted to the door. I almost always let him out while I prepare his food. It’s just part of my morning rhythm at home.

When I’m working at my desk, I usually prop my legs on the corner and balance the keyboard in my lap. Maybe it’s not textbook posture for typing, but it feels natural to me.

"Typing Great Thoughts and Beautiful Sentences... like iridescent stones that dry into dull gray pebbles." – Michael Dirda

1/ Yesterday, the final component of my #portable #writing setup arrived …

an eBay 6th Gen iPad – as I wanted one that would run the latest #iPadOS 17.

I won the auction (thanks, #eSnipe) and lucked out – it’s in truly immaculate condition. $126.00.

I had to slog through a *lot* of listings to find it.

Paired with the #Keychron #K3Pro #Bluetooth keyboard and a $2.99 #Ikea stand, I’m good to go light anytime, anywhere.

Total cost? About $215 plus tax and shipping. Luxury #keyboarding.

I'm casually exploring alternatives to QWERTY keyboards on my smartphone.

Some keyboard apps seem to want payment before I get to try. Others want permission to use personal data unrelated to typing.

The #MessagEase keyboard with only 9 buttons is intriguing, but I'd want to try before I pay.

The #Microsoft keyboard app wants to collect Location #data. How would that improve the app's typing performance?

My keyboarding exploration continues.
