<p>Phil Hagelberg published an interesting <a href="http://technomancy.us/172">blog post about the Ergodox keyboard</a>. I’m a self-confessed input hardware nerd and have been a <a href="http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/shop/advantage-for-pc-mac/">Kinesis Ergo/Advantage</a> user for over a dozen years now. I love those keyboards - otherwise I wouldn’t keep buying them - but Phil makes a very good point that they’re bulky, not something you quickly throw into a bag and take with you…
<p>My hardware “scrap pile” contained a Dell Inspiron 530 - not the most glamorous of machines and rather out of date and old, too, but it works and it runs a few pieces of software that I don’t want to reboot my Mac for regularly.

<p>Back in 2009 I built a “slightly more than NAS” home server and documented that build on my old blog.

<p>The perils of buying a used computer - yes, I am too cheap or just not rich enough to buy a new Mac Pro - is that sometimes you find that you inherited “interesting” fixes.</p>
<p>Last night I did something I was adamant I wasn’t going to do, namely rooting my Android phone and installing CyanogenMod on it. Normally I don’t like messing with (smart)phones - they’re tools in the pipe wrench sense to me, they should hopefully not require much in the way of care & feeding apart from charging and the odd app or OS update.
