Just Accomplishing Something

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 2:35 PM
My column this week:

Sometimes I just need to actually accomplish something. Even if that something is esoteric and not particularly necessary. That is how I spent the last few weeks contemplating computer file systems.

The Mystery of the Unexpected Orange Capped Keyboard

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 9:07 PM
My latest piece:

Two years ago, a mysterious package arrived on my porch. It contained a computer keyboard from a company I had never heard of and with no sign of where it came from. Keyboards do not usually show up unannounced.

Cheers for X, Jeers for TikTok

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 2:00 PM
My column this week:

Does this make me sound old? I don’t really care. The U.S. TikTok ban is spot on and the Brazilian X ban is not. No “back in my day” speech required.

Das Keyboard 6 Professional

A Serious Contender -- and Not Just for Windows

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 4:49 PM
My latest review:

A couple of years ago, Metadot released the Das Keyboard 6 Professional and the MacTigr in short succession. I’ve previously reviewed the Mac-centric MacTigr, and liked it, but what about the more “normal” successor to the Das Keyboard line? Let’s take the 6 Pro for a “test type.”

As X Spirals, the Fediverse Awaits

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 2:15 AM
My column this week:

If you’ve read my columns over the last few years, you know I’ve been far less pessimistic about Elon Musk’s Twitter (err, “X”) than many, even when he’s made inexplicable decisions. Officially supporting pornographic publishing on X, though, is a line crossed and a good time to consider the best alternative.

iPad: Forged from the Humane or Destroyer Of It?

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 9:26 PM
My column this week:

Apple created a lot of stir with the advertisement for its new generation iPad Pro. The shocking video shows a huge variety of things we love, including musical instruments and artistic tools, being crushed by a cold, dark metal press. Is Apple admitting its apocalyptic agenda?

Epomaker FirstBlood B67 Keyboard

Is This a Clearly Better Keyboard?

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:12 PM
My latest review:

A couple of years ago, I reviewed the uniquely styled, crowdfunded Epomaker B21, one of my favorite keyboards despite and, to an extent, because of its quirks. They followed it up with the B67, another keyboard that marches to its own drummer to delightful effect, quirks and all.
