Yea I've been through lots of different ones including Logitech and always a fan of thumb vs finger ones. Picture of my current one and I really like it, been using it for a few years now.

Thow back Thursday: Fly fishing and hiking with my daughter and wife in the mountains. Loved just tossing her in a backpack and hiking to the lake on a whim. We did this often, but this is one my favorite memories, was just an awesome day and had the place to ourselves. Simpler times.

When I picked this up at first, I was thinking it was banded chert but after further inspection I noticed it lets light through. Agate?

Pretty neat piece for this beginner. Going to be getting more pictures of my favorite finds this year. Natures art and I'm enjoying it!

New hoodie! Happy to be a Front-end Friend along with @kevinpowell.co and if you didn't know I really REALLY like CSS Grid. So, it just made sense to snag one of these amazing designs by @chriskirknielsen.bsky.social to wear.

I love catching these creatures and putting them right back to go be predators of their rivers. Battle scars are not uncommon.

Colorful contrasting green head with small nicks and yellow from its jaw to its tail that is missing a small chunk. Small bright red spots light up its adipose and stand out among all the darker spots along its body. Gin clear water in the backdrop exposing the colorful rocks below.

Looks like it's that time again. Need to tie up some more winter flies. (These are old ties but not too bad looking back)

#flyfishing #flytying
Six different small flies for fishing that you could fit five or more of them on a quarter for scale.

One thing I've not been able to do is "tent" my split keyboard. Need to try the octo pads that came with my Keyboardio M100 again but felt they raised it to high from desk. My original intent was to use angled arms for a camera and bring them closer to my chair or just attach them like this person.
Computer chair with M100 split keyboard attached at both arms with camera mounts. Right arm also has a trackball attached.

Final boss in Nine Sols and I'm reminded of the pain when I faced the first boss. Those were still simpler times.

Snow is officially here to stay, rivers about to freeze. Will soon be time to go find some winter whitefish feeding top water midge clusters on a small nearby tailwater. #flyfishing #fiberglass #dryflysnob

Throwback Thursday. Winter is here and reminded me of when I was freezing my butt off to fish the famous DePuy Spring Creek in 14f degree weather. #flyfishing

Using a Split Keyboard? Quote post yours with pros and cons.

Keyboardio m100 is my daily driver.
Pros - Palm keys, thumb row keys, full lighting control, good firmware/software.
Cons - Custom Sculpted keycaps (kind of a pro too?), wood base takes up more height/width than most others.
