Writing a blog post without a screen

This text below post is presented verbatim, as it was typed with only a keyboard: without a display or any assistive technology. Typos are left in. The "Notes after writing" and "My writing setup" sections were typed on my Mac as I prepared to publish the post. This is my fi...

Ideas for web readers

Every so often I have an idea for a feature that might be interesting in a web reader. I write down my ideas in my notes. Sometimes, an idea makes its way into Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain. Other times, the idea stays in my notes where it can breathe, mature, and m...

A computer that's just a keyboard, no screen

Oh you mean like with audio output instead

Nope. No output at all. Just input. With the keyboard.

Why

Short answer: why not?

Long answer: James floated this idea at IWC/BTconf of a PC that's just a keyboard for taking notes; and I said that's totally doable and probably not hard at all to do, since computers that are inside a keyboard already exist. So here's me putting my money where my mouth is.

Relevant note: Since taking the video I've realized the Raspberry Pi is completely fine with a standard 5V, 2.5A phone charger. It's a bit below the specs but it's not exactly doing much here. So a standard powerbank is completely enough and it doesn't need the fancy charger that came with the PC to make loud noises :^)

How I use my phone

May the Focus Be With You!

Last weekend at IndieWebCamp I noticed James had setup his iPhone in grayscale. I think I first saw that on Jeremy’s phone years ago. I remember trying it on my iPod Touch for a while, eventually switching back to see color photos. This morning while chatting with Jam...

Night shift

Writing my post on how I use my phone in grayscale yesterday got me thinking about other customisations I make to the computing devices I use. The first one that came to mind is that I keep my laptop, and by extension my external display when I am using it, in night shift mod...

Using greyscale

Back in 2023 I challenged myself to use my phone in greyscale mode for a week. The experiment was successful: a week later, I was still using my phone in greyscale mode. At some point afterwards, I did disable greyscale mode. But last year, or early this year (I can't remembe...
