Gutz (the manga character in my avatar) is my ideal of a man.

In real life, I am more Klutz than Gutz.

Somehow or other, about half the keyboards that pass through my hands wind up broken or spoilt or malfunctioning. (About half came to me that way; the other half was a result of various failed experiments.)

 I also do not resemble Gutz in any way although we probably both have goofy faces.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

I'm called Rowdy because I don't talk much.  Unless someone IRL asks me something about keyboards, then I over-inform.

They have learned not to ask about keyboards.

Isn't that the opposite of your name? Or is that the joke.

That's the joke.

Like calling someone with red hair Bluey.

Or a very tall person Shorty.

:))
"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

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Some people behaves in a negative  way, because is so easy to hide behind a keyboard. I am sure that face to face they behave like little dogs.

How's the Clack sale going?

 :p
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I'm mostly the same but still stir the pot when I think it is worth it. Things are worth doing right be it online or in real life.
