snap-lPrice is $15.13:53
snap-lI paid $30.99 for them because I wanted to be sure I wasn't getting some knock-off13:54
snap-lI don't even see the company that I dealt with kin the list.13:55
rick_h_widox: how are you doing with the leopold keyboard? Still using it?14:05
smosersnap-l, thanks.14:06
smoseri have a spare/unused wrt54-gl so i'll probably just set up a repeater or something.14:06
widoxrick_h_: yep14:13
rick_h_widox: cool14:14
widoxjust saw your tweet about double chars; I get that too14:14
widoxmostly with the spacebar though14:14
rick_h_yea, driving me mad. I think it might be I'm too forceful, used to the harder keys on the unicomp14:14
rick_h_but i had it before as well.14:14
brouschYou wouldn't get that with an Apple keyboard14:14
widoxthe other day I noticedt that amazon has the filco back in stock...14:14
rick_h_cranky today, no patience for bad tech14:14
rick_h_yea, just ordered the filco w/blue keys14:15
widoxnice14:15

Blazeixlast time i heard16:12
rick_h_oh oh oh http://new.livestream.com/accounts/2432013/CES201316:13
brouschDid you get in on that?16:15
rick_h_yea16:15
rick_h_I was a sucker16:15
greg-gsnap-l: yeah, I just think that those specific keyboards are horrible for empirical health reasons (ie: my hands/wrists hurt like hell when I try to use one for longer than 5 minutes)16:46
rick_h_greg-g: ++ I go nuts when I see a lot of co-workers always living on their laptop keyboards16:47
greg-gpretty is all well and good, but when it comes to ergonomics, ergonomics should trump pretty16:47
rick_h_makes me cringe that they use that 100% of the time all the time16:47
greg-gyep16:47
brouschrick_h_: I use my laptop 100% of the time16:50
rick_h_:(16:50
brouschBut I type with about 4 fingers16:50

rick_h_e-ink display ftw17:09
rick_h_sweet, magnetic charge17:13
greg-gbrousch: one of my co-workers who's a big nerd (Wikipedian extraordinare) is in the same boat17:17
greg-grick_h_: is this what you're talking about? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android17:19

snap-lOK, that pebble watch looks cool17:55
rick_h_yea, I'm excited again. Was getting tired of the delays/etc.17:55
rick_h_but <3 the idea of controlling phone stuff while it's in my pocket.17:55
rick_h_especially when biking/working17:55
rick_h_will need to get a new band for it though me thinks17:55
derekvi probably should have seen if anyone else was driving down from the area17:59
jcastrorick_h_: what's the pebble do18:23
rick_h_jcastro: hooks up to your phone via bluetooth, does time, messages (sms and such) and will have an sdk for hooking up other apps18:23
rick_h_basically, apps on the phone talk to the watch18:24
rick_h_comes with a music app to control your music on the phone18:24
rick_h_their demo had it hooked up via ifttt so that on conditions your watch gets a notification18:25
brouschI want a big velcro strap to attach my phone to my wrist18:25
rick_h_yea, I want to keep my phone in my bike bag, or pockets, etc.18:26
brouschMaybe with a flip-back cover for the phone with a window to show the time18:26
rick_h_lol18:27
brouschretractable mini-trackball i can use in my left hand while typing with my right18:27
brouschI need to kick-starter this18:28
rick_h_brousch: make it work with the new CES 6" phones18:28
brouschWhat's cool is our makerspace is getting 3d printers so I could actually make this crazy stuff18:29
rick_h_jcastro: good hands on with it http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/9/3855482/pebble-smartwatch-hands-on-video18:58
