There finally is a site for my book about the history of keyboards.

I think you’ll enjoy it. There are quite a few fun/interactive things in there, and you can sign up to be notified when the Kickstarter is ready! https://shifthappens.site

Shift Happens: A book about keyboards

Shift Happens tells the story of keyboards like no book ever before, covering 150 years from the early typewriters to the pixellated keyboards in our pockets.

@mwichary This looks fantastic. But TBH, I think you missed an opportunity to name a chapter "Stuck on the Sholes" or something like that. ;)

This is why I'll never publish a book BTW.

Some good news

I finally have some good news to share. We† found the right paper and the printer that knows what to do with it, and have all the verbal agreements we need....
