Format: Paperback
We Will Rise Again is a fascinating mix of speculative short stories, essays and interviews with authors and activists. Not a single one of these creations was weak and all were thought provoking, interesting and inspiring. My heart and brain grew three sizes listening to all these brilliant voices and taking in such a variety of perspectives.
This hopeful and intelligent collection is what we all need right now. Read We Will Rise Again!

Svalboard - Datahand forever! Svalboard is a modern customizable keyboard in the tradition of the Datahand.

The trackballs come with the Svalbard as an option built in to both sides, it's really unique:

I looked up how much carpal surgery was and how long it would take to recover from and how it isn't even guaranteed to fix it, and thought 'what else is on the table' and allowed myself to have a keyboard and ergo setup that is pricy, but way cheaper than my deductible.

The expense held me back, but my old ergo keyboard was dying, and I was getting wrist pain flare up in my right hand, so I thought I would see if this would help.

And having the trackballs just under your fingers, that is helping my wrists so much!

As one reviewer said, these things really are the endpoint of keyboard evolution, and once you use and get adjusted to one you really can't imagine going back. The dactyl manuform at my office feels crude now.

... it's this very gentle, flicking motion that at the same time floats lightly over the keys, fingers just kissing them and the letters appear.

But it's so less force, at first I constantly misfire. Now, it's starting to gel.

But I can tell this is going to be a total win for my hands, already I am starting to want to bring this contraption into work so that I am easier on my hands there as well.

It's very delicate to type on, but that's what your fingers love, and when you get going...

Learning to move your fingers to the sides for the lateral keys on this thing is a trip, but the force required is so small it really becomes second nature, just like other motions, but it is very alien at first, no lie, there's some neuroplasticity benefits here I am sure!

Okay, so I have had my Svalboard keyboard for a little over a few weeks and finally unlocked all the keys on KeyBR.com training. I would have gotten here a week earlier, but I got a little sidetracked by putting the M key on a weird lateral key that moved against the flow of the others.

Friends, I'm in tears over this. Sheila is the first editor I ever worked with. I was 20. She deserves better bosses than this. She and Trevor and Sheree have all proven themselves again and again to be really good and decent people in this field. MRM should not use them as reputation shields.
