So... I saw this and thought of you guys.



I think George Takei posted it originally so I went looking for where it came from: http://theawesomer.com/keyboard-waffle-iron/269145/

The upper 'mold' of the iron doesn't line up with the waffle sitting in the machine. Maybe they just flipped it on accident when taking the picture.

Just say NO to ABS keycaps

That was bugging me to until I realized the waffle is backwards. You can see the spacebar part of the mold is in the back of the waffle maker.

Who will make such a Waffle Maker?

Surely this is just a photoshopped thing.

Probably before r00tw0rm, there was a great collection of keyboard-related photos here.

I loved the concrete "stepping stones" I think it was from a park in Europe.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I do love me a tasty keyboard. Pour some maple syrup on it and you'll have a thing going.

I mean waffles. Waffles. Damnit. Waffles.

Should work - they are basically the same as a Model M, and so many Model M are still working well after ~25 years.

That this one has malfunctioned so soon seems suspicious.

Get back in contact with Unicomp and say that you have tried their solution, but it did not work.

I emailed the designer and he says he's putting together a Kickstarter campaign to produce these. No ETA.
