You should write an entry on how you're a spoiled brat who snagged two Kult Kaps. :))

I shall add both of you to the list. I'd really love for some newer people to speak up. I talk to you guys too much as it is. Bring on the fresh perspectives!

I want to pitch an idea to consider for content or interview topics: what and how members here got into the keyboard world. Im sure everyone has different reasons/stories of how they came their first specialty keyboard. Since this is such a niche community of people enthusiastic about keyboards, itll be interesting to see what started it all for them. Whether it be work, hobby, health or other reasons we would be able to have a glance what drove people here. Some will be straight forward and some will be passionate. Whatever the reason, itll still be insightful among fellow hobbyists to see the root of this community.

He just hates you because you're a circle; you said it yourself.
Although I hear the trapezoids are recruiting new members! If you want to gain some respect, I have connections.
I feel I don't really have friends here and that I cant go ask for help or anything because I'm still new here.
You know, since you brought it up, I've received a few PM's where people refer to me as "somebody" or a "vet" but in truth, I feel as new/noob as the day I joined. Well, okay, maybe less so, but not by much. It took me a while to speak up, too. I was really intimidated by certain people and I still am, not because they're aggressive or mean, but because they just know so much more than me about everything keyboard related. In any case, I'm not sure if I can help, but if you ever want a sounding board or a second opinion asdfjkl36, shoot me a PM. :thumb:
Your entry is pretty badass, btw.
QuoteI feel I don't really have friends here and that I cant go ask for help or anything because I'm still new here.
all "new" people should do the opposite of this. it would help cut the same questions over and over threads.
with that said.

Yea. My fault of course, i just feel embarrassed. Definitly useful on cutting down repeated questions because there are multiple things i've been questioning that I do a quick search and find someone who has already asked the same thing and someone has answered it.
I'll gladly take the title as Noob but only if you add in some zeros to that :p

pretty sure you got that backwards :P
I SERIOUSLY have it backwards. That's for sure.
But I think it's more of a thing about not wanting to embarrassed myself in front of people I look up to / want to be liked.
Thanks to you guys, i'm more comfortable.
That was easy�
Coming out of my shell to say that I enjoy your writing, Sent.
Also, @CPTBadAss: What's up in Cinci? Are you Courage Crew or SOSF??
So that blog post is encouraging people to post more.
Is that right?

From GH members?
That can be arranged.

I can't see what is on that Christmas wishlist, but I expect it to all be Korean customs.

Not holiday theme? Are you kidding?! That bearsuit onesie would make for one sexy christmas! I wanted to take a pic of me in some of my onesies, but they're all crotchless, so that poses a problem. Actually it poses a pretty big problem.

A bit late but here is this week's entry for the blog. Come listen to Last and I talk about random **** that's somewhat related to keyboards or something. I dunno. Just check it out.So i just finished listening to this and although it was kind of long i actually did really enjoy it! look forward to hearing more!

Okay, so I only counted three entrants into the second chance drawing - pwnnarwhal, R1N3, and TacticalStache.
1 - pwnnarwhal
2 - R1N3
3 - TacticalStache
Drum roll, please...Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/lRFsp3Z.jpg)
Congrats to the winner, pwnnarwhal! PM me your address, and I will get your new Hakko shipped out to you. :D
Grats, pwn on winning the station. :thumb:
Sorry if the interview was a bit long. Last and I actually had a lot of stuff that we didn't cover and I was trying to make sure we stayed somewhat on track throughout the whole thing. The two of get along really well, too, which probably contributed to the overall length. I'll see if I can cut the interviews down a bit in the future. :cool:

Wasn't too long for me. IMO, if you can't sit through an hour interview this probably isn't for you.

Grats, pwn on winning the station. :thumb:Thanks! and I was hoping it would be longer actually, but I can imagine how hard it is to keep steady conversation about the same subject for almost an hour.

The length was perfect, I like when interviews are longer. It makes it feel more complete. Short interviews make me think I'm only getting half the story. You probably already had this idea but an interview with a maker would be sick. Bro, Noko, Binge, Nub, JD, I think it would be cool to learn how they got into keyboards and what inspired them to make products to share with us.
Nothing's perfect and our expectations have to be flexible.
I had something very similar happen with my first SP dcs set, it's what really showed the downfalls of thin abs.

After Cherry/GMK and SP's SA, I actually don't mind SP's DCS at all. But then again, I do have a fondness for those vintage WYSE caps I typed on long ago (and sometimes currently).
I could have told you that DSA sucks (and PBT, too). After matt3o's DSA Retro buy, where I spent over $250 on sets that sit in a box in my closet, I vowed no more DSA...ever!

AFAIK, he keeps a lot of it in his garage. I keep mine in a pile in the corner of my room + displayed on some tables, photekq keeps his in a pile on a couch (!?), etc. I've seen a few GHer's collections and it's always interesting to see how they handle thecluttercollections. ;)

I have 50 Commodore Amigas in my basement (hybrid switch) and my room has the boxes/ gear for everything I currently use.
^^ In reagrds to item b, I've had more buyers apathy than buyers remorse. I get all excited about buying something only to get it and just put it away because I'm just not that interested anymore.

Nice blog entry, Sent. :)
Buyer's remorse is something I deal with on an ongoing basis, as a compulsive spender. But you get used to it. It does suck when it's the first experience of it with a new or treasured hobby, though.

You broke da rulez, man. >:D
great post Sent - very relevant to this hobby. I am aware of my own buyer's remorse and have been very careful with what I buy. For example, I am convinced of Topre goodness so I focused only on Topre caps and artisan caps, which fortunately, there are not many variety - I mean, how many RealForce Topre key caps can one get? And there's only two variant of HHKB keycaps (blanks and printed, black or white). So, in a way, I minimize my lust. But still, I succumbed to a recent JD40 by CTRLALT and then GMK Dolch and then 2TU Korean custom. Fortunately, I love all of them and now I am slowly inching my way to collecting artisan caps in MX, lol! As for artisan caps, I think the possibilities of buyer's remorse is EVEN higher, which was what I get with Gas Mask caps, so now I am only focusing on CC and BB, and an occasional Dolly.
This hobby is brutal!

Don't you know I can't listen to an interview now? I have to work!
Looking forward to listening when I get home. :thumb: Nice pics in the article!
Booper's caps are so damn nice.
did you do something weird to the audio in booper's interview?
I get you in my left ear and booper in my right
it's annoying
Nice interview, Sent and Booper! And thank you for the mentions. :D
Audio should be fixed. If someone could confirm, that'd be great.
Yep, fixed. :)
Sent, can you make the interviews downloadable on SoundCloud, it'd be highly appreciated.

Yup, we're getting into drugs. Gonna start edging in on some of the local gangs. :))
As for the audio quality, Bunny already covered it. When we started, I didn't think we'd be doing this many interviews. Actually, I didn't think the interviews would be in an audio format. However, since we are doing them this way and plan on doing many more, I'll be actually investing in a somewhat proper setup.
The entries are every Monday, yes. They may not always be an interview but there will always be something up on Monday.

If it's audio gear you need, I've AT LEAST got a nice small preamp that I'd give you for free if you'd be willing to cover shipping. Wish I woulda known sooner, I just gave away two different audio interfaces and a mic to local musicians on Monday.
The interview with booper was just as good as the one with lastpilot IMO, and I can't wait until the next one.I agree!
I'll extend the interviews if that's what people want. It seems like people want longer ones from what I've been seeing. I was worried they would be too long, already. :-Xyes i'd actually enjoy longer interviews as the i felt the booper interview got suddenly cut off, you're blue balling us! (i know this contradicts what i said before, sorry....)
Perhaps the upcoming interview with a special guest will be longer.

Although i understand your feelings about it, i think all of us here would much rather you guys ask even if you can afford it! not that i have any audio stuff to provide but if i did i would be more than happy to help out!If it's audio gear you need, I've AT LEAST got a nice small preamp that I'd give you for free if you'd be willing to cover shipping.

Appreciate it, R1N3, but I think we (ctrl alt) has it covered...I think. :D I'm ok with giving stuff to others but I always feel a bit odd receiving stuff.

yeah id just like to say a huge thanks to hipster for doing this, was a huge honour to have him on and i feel really lucky to have been apart of it
but dont worry guys, i wont be crashing all these things so you wont have to listen to me again
at least not for a while
There should be one about vaping when you release the CTRL box mod.

We should have [CTRL]ALT bucks that may or may not do anything interesting and may or may not be completely worthless but probably won't be but probably are. :-X
I'm 40 min in and really enjoying this, although i have to mention that Sent's audio is a lot louder than bunny and Hipster.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with head-to-head interviews, but this three person format added a ton of diversity to the conversation.
It was awesome hearing three completely different people talk about their own personal experiences with the same thing.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
So yeah, i really enjoyed this one!
While being off topic it was still kinda on topic but everything was definitely interesting.
So what happened with your EVO X sent? why did the engine blow? how much did it end up costing?
This was a great post today on the blog, I really enjoyed the less interview-like questions, and the more of having a conversation without forced questions, and a stirct agenda to stick to.
I like a mix of all of them, it was cool to hear about some new product ideas.There's absolutely nothing wrong with head-to-head interviews, but this three person format added a ton of diversity to the conversation.

Having a round table-ish discussion is definitely very entertaining. To be honest, I did nothing this week. It was all Bunny and Hipster. I got to sit back and relax while the two of them did the heavy lifting from the photos to the conversation. It was nice. :))So yeah, i really enjoyed this one!

So what happened with your EVO X sent? why did the engine blow? how much did it end up costing?
My first motor was defective from the factory. Actually, my snail was screwed. One of the fins wasn't welded on properly and it ended up snapping off while I was blasting through the long sweeper between turns 7 and 8 at Big Willow. The fin rocketed through my motor and tore the guts out. It ended up costing...a lot. A lot a lot. I just ended up rebuilding the motor from the ground up with Cosworth and Cobb to make sure something like that wouldn't happen again. Eventually, I sold the Evo to move into something a bit more calm and comfortable to drive on the streets.This was a great post today on the blog, I really enjoyed the less interview-like questions, and the more of having a conversation without forced questions, and a stirct agenda to stick to.
There's pros and cons to each type of interview, whether they're more formal or less so. Sometimes it's a good idea to really drill into one subject and other times, it's more beneficial to just sort of be all over the place. Plus, a lot of it depends on who you're talking to. I'm comfortable with whatever but some people do better with more structure and others with less.

ouch, did you recieve no help from Mitsubishi on that? cause obviously that's their **** up that screwed your engine. Cosworth & Cobb?? wow $$$$ lol
that's sad, i quite like having a ridiculous car for street lol

They voided any sort of warranty I had due to, get this...a shift knob, exhaust, bucket seat, and harness. I fought it but long story short...I lost. Lol.
It was fun having a track car as a street car for a while but it wears on you. Full cage, welded chassis, etc. It's just not practical. Plus, my girlfriend at the time absolutely hated it. :rolleyes: Girls tend to not like harnesses. Gas and tires were a killer, too.
That's so lame man.. BMW told me I could do any mod to my MINI Cooper S but if it had to do with the same area it would void it. So none of those would've voided engine trouble. Sounded like an awesome car.

I think a lot of it has to do with the dealership, too. Some dealerships are really cool about mods and some aren't. My current Audi dealership told me straight up they don't give a ****. If I install STaSIS stuff, they're even more chill about it.
From now on I'll be reading bunny's posts with his voice in my head. :p

And that's bull****, Sent needs to sing Shake it Off on the next podcast :P.
BunnyLake, I would love to see those Jane Doe albums :D.
Idea for a future podcast, get as many Ctrl alt guys together and then do a sort of ama or Q&A. Collect questions from the community and then just in a short like 30-45 minutes just go through answering questions.
Edit also someone you should interview is nuclear_sandwich. One of the coolest guys I've met since joining.

Did you mean collect questions regarding CTRL ALT? Or just random questions that the CTRL ALT guys answer?
Anything. Although I'd like to stay away from asking about Ctrl alt besides things like how it got started and stuff. I don't want them to reveal secrets and stuff they are working on. I think it would be great to just get a chance to engage with the Ctrl alt team besides the daily badgering about where's my caps.Holy **** that Jersey accent is strong with Hipster hahaha. Making me miss the Northeast... And BunnyLake sounds *a lot* like photekq. Like you're brothers or something @.@.
And that's bull****, Sent needs to sing Shake it Off on the next podcast .
BunnyLake, I would love to see those Jane Doe albums :D.
Karaoke entry! :eek: I think that'd cause everyone to never read the blog again. :))Idea for a future podcast, get as many Ctrl alt guys together and then do a sort of ama or Q&A. Collect questions from the community and then just in a short like 30-45 minutes just go through answering questions.
Edit also someone you should interview is nuclear_sandwich. One of the coolest guys I've met since joining.

Whoever made the decision to design the keyboard in such a way that the keycaps cannot be replaced with aftermarket sets, should be taken out back and shot.

Apologises for any name butchering, and talking in quotes was actually more difficult than I anticipated,

Any all all critique is appreciated

One thing I would like to ask for in regards to the blog, is an option (or something) to switch the text colour and background colour so that the back ground is white and the text is black, as light text on a black background properly messes with my eyes lol
I'll be that guy. I found it kind of awkward to listen to Tym reading the blog. Not that I don't enjoy Tym's accent or appreciate his effort. It's more like...it loses something...kind of like when I watch the LOTR movies and I'm mad that it's not how I imagined things in my head. I think it's fun to conjure Sent's tone in my head while I read the blog.

That was pretty awesome guys, thanks for taking the time to do that!
Here's some things i want to mention in no particular order.
Congratulations bunny!!! I'm happy for you, let us know if it's a boy or a girl!
Mulan is the ****, "let's get down to business" man!
It's 100% Toh-pre, nothing else, i don't care lol
My reason/whyMoreSurprised you actually want to see my reasoning...well it's more of an explanation which is actually really simple.
So Topre is a Japanese company so it's pronounced the Japanese way.
Topre in Japanese is 東プレ or トプレ in Katakana or とぷれ in Hiragana (if you're curious 東 is the kanji for east or 'higashi' also the same To for Tokyo)
ト is pronounced Toh, like Tokyo (東京)
プ is pronounced puu, not like poo or maybe but cut short and not extended out.
レ is pronounced re, sound is in between re and le, like a rolled R.
so....yeah.....

I'm just going to have to buy a new head unit so I can play my phone over my speakers.
Actually one thing i forgot about but was super jelly off was Sent's time at Big Willow! It's nice to find out there is someone really into track cars!
It's not something I can afford to do, but I like to simulate it and when I can go Karting.
What's Willow like IRL? It's a pretty high speed track from playing it in GT, have you done any racing at all?? TELL US MOAR!

Willow is alright. It's not my favorite track but a lot of my friends enjoy it. Like you said, it's high speed and for inexperienced drivers, that can be a major issue. Knowing your braking points and which lines you need to take are pretty crucial. Thankfully the runoffs are pretty big but the gravel is god awful. Your car is going to hate you if you go off track, trust me. If you want to get the best times here, you really need a balanced car and a tuned suspension along with plenty of track time. If you ever do go...don't apex too early on the last turn in. They'll be peeling you off of the wall.
And yeah, I've done plenty of events and taken my fair share of driving courses. :) Definitely my first love.
Willow would be a bit of a trip for me haha but I would love to do a track day. And yeah the last corner is deceptive, I've raced it a bunch in GT6 (the closest I'll ever get) and it's very easy to run wide there.
My old man has a 911 so I'm trying to convince him to take it to brands hatch or silverstone for a trackday, but he's not too excited about having to spend a fair bit on new tires lol

GT6 is surprisingly accurate, lol. Track days are tons of fun but you're right, tires are killer. I wouldn't have done it so much if I didn't have a tire sponsorship with Nitto. I chewed through NT05's like nobody's business and I was running 275/35/18's all around so the tires were definitely not cheap. I really miss tracking but it's just way too expensive. If you have a crazy car, the maintenance costs just ramp up ridiculously fast.
Oh nice you had a sponsor! That's awesome haha and yeah, there is a guy at our local rugby club who owns and manages a race team who run a GT3 spec Aston Martin and he kinda shied my dad off it haha he was saying that you can also rinse through breaks pretty easily too...
id love tho to be able to run an MX5 as a track car or something, not something super fast just something fun to drive and that dosn't cost the earth :P
How did you get a tire sponsor? Was it from winning/competing in events?? (Do you have any pics of your racing would love to see some!)
I never realised Bro was 40+ , now I can't help myself picturing him babysitting an asian baby whenever a gif battle happens with vesper.

Nice post, Sent. Good things to think about, for sure.
By the way, I know I'm one of those with strong opinions. But what others don't realize is how much I self censor. If I wrote what I really think sometimes, I think people would be absolutely shocked. :D
Good things to think about, for sure.
And I think it's important to befriend and surround yourself with people who have differing opinions to you and are able to argue there point, helps you see the bigger picture.

Lol, that's an article I really want to get right as far as the details and history goes. Basically, that means it's more work and I've been a bit swamped with life. That entry is still coming just not right away, perhaps. Same goes for the GB discussion between Bunny and I.
Disregard blog. Always listen to demik.

I just finished listening, Binge we should talk about birds sometime, my grandpa has been raising and breeding birds for years. He has more than a hundred in a giant wick building. He mostly breeds Lovebirds, looking for new colors, blues, purples and such. But he also works with a ton of Parrots, Cockatoos, Cockatiels, Macaws, and a ton of small birds that I could never name.
just to say the blog will be back soon guys, sents been going through some personal stuff, but will be back shortly
Yeah, sorry I've been really quiet. Since I last talked to Bunny, thing's sort of took another turn for the worst. You know the saying, "When it rains, it pours." Really sorry I just went MIA. I haven't even logged into Geekhack in days. I'm scrambling to recover so hopefully I'll have an entry up this coming Monday.

It's alive. I'm alive. We're all alive. Yay.Welcome back! I am looking forward to the blog posts & (hopefully) interviews! Hope you are better!
I got some stuff cleared off my plate and lately I've had the itch to write and start chatting/interviewing GH people again. I'll be touching base with Bunny about some thoughts and hopefully start posting entries again soon. As an aside, I really appreciate those that reached out to me when I was MIA. I heard a few of you also asked about me at Keycon and were concerned. It means a lot. :-*

We should have a guess hoff's board thread. I think I have an idea.
Pretty awesome video and interview. I went to see Rush with my dad last year in Birmingham NIA, whole place smelled like farts.

Hi.

The older interviews should also be fixed.
Ramble was in full effect that night. I just worked a 12 hour day and barely made the interview time. Hopefully it's not as bad as I remember and y'all enjoy. Thanks for interviewing me sent!

Random thoughts.
http://blog.ctrlalt.io/articles/hey-hey-you-i-got-some-caps-sonAgreed. I've narrowed my collection down just to the pieces I really love and some pieces I can't give away because they came to me through the generosity of others. All the other pieces are now flying on their way to new homes :) That doesn't mean I won't be hunting for more pieces that I'll love, but I agree that it shouldn't be a contest to "[have] enough Bro's and Clack's and other dank artisans to bathe in."

Random thoughts.
good read but to me there is some dissonance-- didn't ctrl alt auction off a bro that hit 800 bucks? and ctrl alt doesn't publish the total number of bro caps produced per run -- for what reason exactly? and who can deny the hype machine surrounding ctrl alt / bro caps products?
really not trying to stir up the pot or add more salt -- this soup is salty enough as is. i am souper thankful that bunny/ctrl alt has stepped in to help with the gh60 debacle and some of the projects are really intriguing to me (topre sliders! finally!).
sent - i'm not necessarily asking these questions to you in an accusatory manner, i'm just curious about a disparity i see between your blog post and SOME of ctrl alt's operations.

You bring up some good points but keep in mind, the blog is mostly my thoughts and opinions. Bunny and Bro don't censor me. Being frank, I've been somewhat out of the loop with what's going on with them lately so I may not be the best one to answer these questions. This isn't me trying to pass the buck or dodge the bullet. I just don't think I could give a fair and honest answer to your questions. :(
I do appreciate you actually being respectful and asking your questions the way you did. :thumb: I don't mind feedback like this. Just kind of at a loss for how to respond cause I'm dumb. :))
I don't really agree with much in your post, other than you should be collecting/getting them because you enjoy them (I'll try and reword a post I made in Bro Therapy that seemed to get ignored, for the most part anyway).
I feel like the 'gotta catch em all' mentality at Geekhack has actually dropped off considerably over the last few years. I remember the early days when I would creep or when I was a new member and seeing the INSANE clack collections people had; Reaper, Dang, Ethos etc and others coming along with lots of cash to try and catch up. All those people left or faded away and there collections got scattered to the winds allowing more and more people access and making it harder and harder for collectors.
Fast forward to the last week or so and suddenly anyone who wants to collect Bro's or CC's is a horrible person and should be ashamed of how they are ruining Geekhack, which is pretty insane because this happens in no other community I've be apart of where rare and collectible things make up a large portion of it. On top of that I can only think of literally one person who would even fall into that category.
Trying to incite your own morals and opinions on to others and dismissing theirs is something we should all be beyond.
Maybe I've taken this the wrong way but I don't see how my MGS collection is intrinsically less valuable to me (or anyone else) than someone with just one MGS Collectors Edition (or something). Or how my collection of 6 Reapers (and my desire for more) makes my value and opinion of the Reapers any less than someone who only has one. I don't see opinions like Sent's or others who share similar opinions as personal attacks, I just don't understand the logic behind them.

I get what you're saying and perhaps I didn't word the entry as 'accurately' or clearly as I would have liked. That's a bit of a fail on my part. Still, we disagree on one of the basic ideas and that's how much the 'gotta catch 'em all' mentality is present. Everyone sees the world through their own eyes so it's not surprising that we'd have different views and it's certainly not a problem. I'm just saying, we probably look at the situation just a bit differently from the get go. :)
And I'm definitely not saying that your value and opinion of the Reaper is any less than someone who only has one. I've never had that thought so I'm not sure where you got that from. :( I'm just really hoping that people don't think they need artisan caps or expensive keyboards to be in with the cool kids. I don't care if you have one clack, ten clacks, or no clacks. If you're a cool guy/gal, I'm still more than willing to chat with you and be friends. That might've gotten a bit lost.
Reaper, Dang, Ethos etc and others coming along with lots of cash to try and catch up.
Just wanted to say thanks to both of you. Discussion like this is good when it's civilized. It's nice. ^____^
You're right in saying that having 12 Bros doesn't make you 12x better than someone who's Bro-less.
It makes you INFINITELY better! You are 12x better than someone with only ONE Bro. Bwahahahaha!

In short, focus on the positive and let those that want to exist int he doldrums stay there. Maybe one day they will find their way out.
Lots of new people joining up that see artisan caps around and think they need them to fit in - not the case, guys. Just be nice and you'll make friends and fit in. :thumb: :-*This.
Reaper, Dang, Ethos etc and others coming along with lots of cash to try and catch up.
reaper was not that public with his collection but he was fairly generous when it came to trades and selling IIRC, and eth0s kept a really low profile. dan DEFINITELY caught flack over it because he was a lot more public with his collection (here and on his blog), so i don't see it as being very different now - there are some 'ultra' collectors who are super secretive about their loot and some who like to show off.
reaper was a saint. never a show off, and always extremely nice to new people. sold stuff without an insane mark up 99% of the time. never made a huge deal about his generosity either. we could all learn a thing or two from him.

I'm not sure I could handle a tp4 interview. I need to brush up on my azn for that.
I thought at one point there was talk of having Elrick "The Hype Master" on as a guest, or am I mistaken?

Came back and had quite a few people asking me about the blog. I didn't think anyone had actually read it. :p Debating with doing something again, maybe. If anything does happen, I'll update here.

Yo, Bee Gees are my jam.Hit me on Skype and we can talk about torn tendons as well as experimental peptides, and SARMS along with their potential dangers and benefits.
So, since I have no clue what the hell is going on with GH and keyboards anymore, I was thinking of grabbing a few people maybe to fill me in on what's been happening. Record it and throw it up as an entry.
