  • I started with an Ergodox, more like the Voyager and later moved to a Corne.

    You can try a Corne-like layout on the Voyager by using one bottom row key as a thumb key and ignoring the rest of the bottom row. All the other finger keys are shifted up one row.

    If you like the Corne layout, sell the Voyager. I expect they have good resell value.





  • A floppy disk is fine, just like Photoshop uses terms like dodge and burn, references to obsolete dark room methods, like cutting and “pasting” were literally how some layout projects worked.

    Referencing the last physical incarnation of saving a file seems fitting!


  • Imagine a beach of infinite length with one lemonade stand on it.

    Where do you open a second lemonade stand to maximize sales if people will buy from the closet stand?

    The answer: next to the first stand. Everyone to the left of your stand will find you are the best option and everyone to the right will choose the other.

    This model explains why two political parties along a spectrum can end up not too different from each other in an attempt to capture the most votes.
