Bob makes me post and buy keyboards for him to live on...

I like you guys and I'm not ashamed to be a nerd here...or to be a little goofy with Bob.  My work is highly-stressful so I need to let out the crazy somehow...hahaha :))

I post here because if I start talking about keyboards to anyone else I just see their eyes instantly glaze over with boredom.

BECAUSE MY LIFE IS EMPTY AND I IDOLIZE KEYBOARDS LIKE ARE GODS.  Hail keyboards!

But seriously, this place is obsessive nerd central, and I sometimes turn into an obsessive nerd, and this helps me release my inner nerd so the rest of the world can be spared from me rambling on about nerdy things.

Yeah I say anything keyboard related or anytime I get something in the mail my daughter is like , 'Dad enough about keyboards, your a geek' :p

Or she'll walk past the door, and call out to my other half "He's on the forums again".
"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 post on geekhack because the community is really friendly, well informed, and not overrun with jerks yet. In some categories we are teeter tottering on a dangerous edge, but hopefully we can avoid disaster.

I post here to help offset the ratio in the favor of not jerks.  :-\ :rolleyes: ;D

Hi,

People have seen me spamming about making keycaps for a bit.  I've been a member officially since 09' and I've lurked longer than that. 

Geekhack keeps me coming back because I'm always surprised how often I appreciate my typing after coming to this site.

I am a generally creative guy.  Some people who know me say I act like a grumpy old man.  On most days that is true.  My favorite animal ever is the tiger, and if it were to come down to it I'd say the best colors are generally blues and neighboring complex colors green/purple.
60% keyboards, 100% of the time.

I'm no demilk, but I can say that the HHKB Lite is not Thorpe - it is RB, basically a cheapish 60% with arrow keys.

Make of that what you will.

The girls that go for (keyboard) nerds happen to be pretty rad (often times). I like them better than my buddy keyboard nerds. Oops, didi I type that out loud?

But remember, as with anything, ya gotta get exposure, face time, experience…do this any you'll bump into 'future Ms. Keyboard Nerd' somewhere, sometime. Oh yea….and follow through.

The girls that go for (keyboard) nerds happen to be pretty rad (often times). I like them better than my buddy keyboard nerds. Oops, didi I type that out loud?

But remember, as with anything, ya gotta get exposure, face time, experience…do this any you'll bump into 'future Ms. Keyboard Nerd' somewhere, sometime. Oh yea….and follow through.

In this thread I learned that you cant bring your girl around Input Nirvana. He'll snipe her from you :(

For the last four or five years I was curious in getting a cool keyboard. In fact ever since I got one of those "Z boards" back when I played city of heroes around 2004 ish, I was interested in gaming/better peripherals. Slowly I creeped on the intarwebz and learned of mechanical keyboards and always got linked back to threads on this site. So, finally, being a college junior and being fed up with my razer blackwidow, I decided to join. This is after I also purchased a Unicomp customizer 101  back in '09 which Ive been using for gaming/typing/everything. Its so beat up and Ive had so many different boards since joining here... but somehow I always come back to it. Ive never gotten rid of it and I dont think I ever will. If fact, I was lucky enough  to just score a BS CC Skull for it, which will probably remain on there for all time. I just love that damn board... anyways...

So basically, kept getting linked back here, so decided to join, then saw how amazing (most of) the community was so I decided to stick around and post here and there. Im a member of SO many forums, but this is the only one where I genuinely care about the people here, want to make friends, are intersted in seeing what they look like, etc.

I'm very anti-social. I've got low self-esteem and self-confidence.

Did I do this right?

man if that's true and you still landed a pretty wife..

i have hope!

although im sure you're joking.. so i'll go be sad again.

Yo Demik I'm feelin' real lazy tonight and am wondering if you could advise me against the hhkb lite, I kinda wanna buy one. They're like $70 on amazon.

I'm no demilk, but I can say that the HHKB Lite is not Thorpe - it is RB, basically a cheapish 60% with arrow keys.

Make of that what you will.

Thanks Rowdy, I was suspicious at the price point. I'm out, screw that.

I have to confess, I only started posting on geekhack.org in order to see if I could meet CPTBadAss in person.  (Which I did.)

Now I guess it's just inertia.  Or maybe Clacks.  Or Thorpes.

Not my fault if the gf isn't as committed to someone thinks. Hell, I probably would be doing someone a favor. Better to find out sooner than later.

Someone already did. They titled my exploits as "Joe Hunk and What Women REALLY want". Definitely NSFW.

exactly my thoughts!
(...)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.

I was and still am in comparison a lowely no0ob to quality keyboards.. Whenever an in depth question was cast on google I'de find myself scrolling back down through the black and red data vault of GH keyboard knowledge.

I came lurked and read and now have ordered mods before the KEYBOARD!!! --->Plan on gittin a Filco MJ2 brown with pretty rainbow pbts (only thin :/) and some thin soft red o rings :) I read on here everyday now abd think it's awsome. Cool people, amazing keyboards and CAPS!! and great fun.

Thanks for existing GH & GHers. You're alright!  :cool:
