Dan @danbowles.com · 23/06/2026KLORBALL35 has taken its final form with these lovely LSDA keycaps from Lowprokb.ca. Next is to clean up the repo and enjoy this little board. 020
Dan @danbowles.com · 10/06/2026Kinda crazy I designed this and it all works. Already daydreaming about designing an MX version :) I give you: KLORBALL35. The github repo is a hot mess, I'll share it at some point. 040
Dan @danbowles.com · 31/05/2026Woo! Right side keys and matrix are set. Next it is time for the left side then the trackball. What an absurdly fun project this has been #KLORBALL35 000
Dan @danbowles.com · 21/05/2026Getting real. Just need to checkout and wait for my keyboard PCBs to arrive. Triple-checked everything but holy crap am I weirdly nervous. 020
Dan @danbowles.com · 11/05/2026Another hex-thing update. Getting some noisy edges working in Canvas and @rescript-lang.org. Next up: No idea. 120
Dan @danbowles.com · 01/04/2026Now to fit this enormous book case into my tiny bookstore #lego #afol #booksky 060
Dan @danbowles.com · 20/02/2026Onto the right side, then the mounting plates! #pcbdesign #kicad #keyboard 000
Dan @danbowles.com · 20/02/2026This is so oddly enjoyable I may have to make an MX version of my yet-to-be-completed KLORBALL35 000
Dan @danbowles.com · 16/02/2026Jesus Christ doing those curved routes was difficult. #keyboard #kicad 130
Dan @danbowles.com · 07/02/2026Changed the roof to dark green and oh my goodness I loves it #lego 000
Dan @danbowles.com · 25/01/2026Our tuxedo cat, Professor Maxwell, has found a way to make dozens of blank copies with our printer/copier. We hear a lot of beeping and then the copier does its thing. We now call it his business center. 0321
Dan @danbowles.com · 13/01/2026And we are off! Getting the domains and resources setup in what will be a production e-commerce app in @ash-hq.org! 020
Dan @danbowles.com · 11/01/2026Figuring out where to put the mounting holes for the bottom plate has been weirdly challenging. #ergomech #keyboard #design 2 more to go, then it may be time to fire up Kicad!! 010
Dan @danbowles.com · 04/01/2026First go at the right side of the board with the PMW3360 breakout. #ergomech #keyboard 000
Dan @danbowles.com · 04/01/2026Getting the hang of Ergogen more. Left side is taking shape! #ergomech #keyboard 020
Dan @danbowles.com · 03/01/2026Sad it is over but I enjoyed the ride. King Sorrow was an incredible read. 000
Dan @danbowles.com · 28/12/2025Was worried mirroring in Ergogen would mean I'd have to have 36 keys. Got the `asym` keyword sorted and my KLORBALL35 is back on track: 000
Dan @danbowles.com · 27/12/2025I asked the kiddo for a Daft Punk birthday card and they more than delivered 😍 #art 070
