now that i'm retiring from keyboards, i no longer need my collection and archives. but i'd love for these things to have a home with someone who will use and appreciate them. if you're a friend or someone i've known in any of my circles of the years, hmu if there was something you might want!

what's possibly available:

* boards, often seen as hero shots on the website.

* pbt keycaps from past editions.

* reserve keycaps only used for shop photo purposes.

* some slightly "off color" samples that don't look bad but not
what i wanted for production. (like a pkmn shiny)

* deskmats, some currently sold out, only used for photos.

* old collaboration products that i don't need or no longer fit me.
* gifted artisan keycaps from the past.

* parts, unused components from when i was just a hobbyist.
* probably more i forgot about...

I made a loose mini-moon pattern, and "free handed" the smaller pieces that make it up to try to achieve the look. As an added bonus, we made use of cut glass from other pieces so it doesn't go to waste! Chibi Show at @giantrobotstore.bsky.social: www.giantrobot.com/collections/...

2026 posting. instead of having january being a "new start" i want to think of my lifetime as a rolling "last 12 months" basis, so there's never a loss of wonder or calendar year pressure to be a certain way. (not advocating this necessarily. you do you!)

💫 chasing wonder 💫 a personal piece created back last fall for an unconference. (wonder.voyage) i had a lovely time chasing wonder weekend, with a bunch of nerds. the most freeing part for me was that no one really knew me. i mostly talked about scuba! publishing books, tea, FIRE, and travel.
