Some front yard shots from the geomagnetic storm on May 10th, 2024. I never thought we’d see one of these in South Carolina!
The sky wasn’t as vibrant to the naked eye due to all the ambient light in my neighborhood, but the iPhone 15 Pro’s sensor picked it up great with a three second exposure.
Hot swappable switches – in case I get bored with Gateron Browns.
Made out of aluminum – a sturdy 5 lbs!
Knobs are cool.
South-facing RGB LEDs.
Has a handy switch to toggle between Mac and PC modes.
After an hour or so of using it, so far so good! It’s exactly what I hoped it’d be, and a leap in modernization and build quality from the New Model M that I’ve been running. I’ll still use Buckling Springs on my retro machines, of course, but it’s so nice to have LEDs, a knob for volume, dedicated function keys for brightness and Spaces, and the flexibility to do whatever I want with custom firmware. 😎

I didn’t get out much in Munich as it was an intense week of work, but one morning I did take a walk in the park that borders the Eisbach river. It was cold, rainy, and quite enjoyable.
I’m starting to dust off some seasonal projects and realized I hadn’t made this simple tool public which others may find handy. With projects like the NeoPixel Tree it can be much quicker to code visual sequences locally instead of waiting for new firmware to upload to the MCU every time you want to tweak something.
Amsterdam was so nice! Great food, going to Tony’s Chocolonely, meeting friendly cats, avoiding bicycles, a ride in the canal, and visiting the Anne Frank memorial just to name a few highlights.
