After many years of mostly WFH, the original Oxide custom keyboard is back in its original habitat -- at my original desk! -- in Emeryville.

I've upgraded its brain to the reCODE rev C of course.

A mid sized mechanical keyboard on a desk with a Thinkpad. The key caps are white, green, and charcoal, which were the Oxide brand colors until about 2022.

When (Google) X moved into our new digs in 2015, I suggested naming the conference rooms after dead products to keep us humble: Newton, Edsel, etc. This did not go over well.

At Oxide I've got my choice of dead computer company mugs each morning, and guess what our naming scheme for our conference rooms is....

(Oh I made that sign out of walnut and oak)

Anyway, culture fit could be much worse

A selfie in front of a conference room sign reading "Control Data" while holding a mug that reads "Amdahl."
