The Deskthority Awards: You're Invited
« on: Tue, 21 November 2017, 23:37:39 »
It's that time of the year again. Bring your opinions to the table, earn a chance at winning sponsor prizes, and irritate the stodgier members of the DT userbase.

https://deskthority.net/dta-news-f106/welcome-to-the-deskthority-awards-2017-t17723.html



Will it be controversial? Yup. But that's half the fun. I'm not running the DTAs this year, but I'm still helping out with some things.

Feel free to get in touch with questions or comments.

I'm sure you can trade any items you win for fried chicken gift cards.

Regardless, we will take your feedback under serious consideration.

Fried chicken is important.

Is Clack still making Wingnuts, or did Deskthority just accumulate a bunch of them from before?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I think there needs to be an award show trailer, even if there isn't a real show.  :thumb:

I think from what I heard last year he keeps making them every year. Aren't each batch unique for each year?

No idea - haven't got one, haven't even seen one in the flesh.  Well, in the plastic.  If he's making them out of flesh it would explain why he's not making many keycaps any more.
