Managed to acclimatise my tastebuds enough to drink some of the beer and it hasn’t done me any good 🫠

When my other grandfather (not blood related but he might as well have been) suddenly passed, I played way too much NS2 until I ragequit basically for good.

And my actual dad passing was… complicated.

This grandad, though, by far had the biggest (positive) impact on who I am and what I do, but distance and poor communication estranged us.

It’s probably an offence to want a Tangara when you don’t own a single pair of wired headphones 🤣

I thought January was bad ending with a week of cleaning vomit off things, but February just had to rock up and top it with my grandad passing away.

Bought a couple of ££ beers to drown my sorrows and they are the worst tasting dreck that’s ever passed my lips. Even counting the vomit that recently came out 🫠

No, really, I’m not going to go into specifics but Hollie doing this walk would be a big fucking deal.

Finished!

EndgameGear XM2we “black” with a custom acrylic spray paint to match the SA Geoma key set. It’s Marble White, Malachite Light and Stealth (grey) with stencils cut on Cricut and new glides.

Have pushed some updates to remove a potentially troublesome wordmark and tweak things a little so light/dark are closer. (Ideally just two swatch swaps apart.)

Also added 800x480 light/dark, not super useful but cute for touchscreen users!

Possibly the most fun I’ve had with a keyboard yet 🤣

… and I’m only just getting started!

While waiting for paint to dry, and while too flamed out with cold (and sick kids) to do anything I should actually be doing, I ended up doing a design for a Pico 2 Pinout desk mat.

While I figure out how to get it made. You can buy it as a wallpaper in both light and dark versions - https://ko-fi.com/s/ae1ab316fc

I’m desperate to assemble this thing but it currently has a big stripe across it from a touch up respray and I need to wait and see if it cures to the same sheen as the rest 🤣

I’m calling it SA Geomouse. The keycaps are SA Geoma on the awesome Keychron Q1 HE. The mouse is an EndgameGear XM2we.
