This week I've been: Continuing to exercise in VR, and playing The Seance of Blake Manor.

I don't think anyone would challenge me on the assertion that 'ergonomic keyboards look a little weird'. However, that's not the thing that has kept me away from them for, well, ever. It's that they feel weird. There are many types, of course, but mostly they're designed to keep your hand in the same position, and perhaps slightly elevated. They all come with their own learning curves, and I frankly just don't want to shape up how I type. I still use QWERTY, and I don't touch type. For shame, I know.
