„Hurdle“ 📷 #mbfeb

It’s a real challenge for me to relearn typing on this fabulous keyboard.

@dominikhoecht that's shop.keyboard.io, they ship internationally. And they ship fast!

@muhh I notice The Art of Peace on your desk 😊 Are you into Aikido or is general interest?

@dominikhoecht that’s right. It’s the opposite of cheap. I wouldn’t and couldn’t afford it privately as well, I’m lucky it’s a business expense

@hutaffe nice catch 😄 I was practicing aikido for a couple of years a long time ago, but stopped. The philosophy never left. I keep it as a gentle reminder.

@muhh cool! I also practiced it for several years. I was on my way to the black belt, but then I moved to where I live now and unfortunately there are no good options for me here. I still think about it though 😊 I really loved it. But I never came around to read that book 😉

@hutaffe My advice: try to find a way to start again. I practiced Ju-Jutsu Kai when I went to university, then kids etc "got in the way" but some 20 years later I started again.

@hutaffe I haven't gotten that far, but was in my way as well. Then life came with lots of different things… insert more excuses here… There is a dojo not too far away, but I would need to take the car to get there. Which annoys me.

I still look up their website every couple of months. @jemostrom is probably right :)

@muhh same here... I‘d spend more time in the car then in training. But I also look up their schedule every now and then 😉

@muhh Very cool! Do you like the sound that it makes?

@martinfeld It's the quiet version actually, so I like it very much since it's a nice change to my rather loud Keychron K2

@hutaffe I like the way the philosophy behind Aikido sounds, so I ordered the book. Not sure I’ll be able to practice though, believe I need some general training first at least… Thanks for making me aware of it! 🙏 @muhh

@odd The very nice thing about Aikido is that it's supposed to be a sport that requires any fitness at all to start. we had all levels of fitness in our dojo.

Just pushing you gently to try it out :)

@odd @muhh yeah... physical fitness is no real blocker to get started. That's the beauty, „by design“. We had an 80 year old woman in our dojo back when I practiced, she couldn't bend her joints like the 20 year olds of course, but she practiced just like everyone else. People adjust to the capabilities of their training partner. It's not a competition, more like a working and helping to learn together.

@hutaffe Reading this and thinking back all the memories are coming back.

I really miss it.

@muhh That sounds great. Does the loudness of your other keyboard bother you or is it only problematic in an office setting with others?

@martinfeld I usually work in a very small shared office and my klicky keyboard is a bit disturbing for my officemate. I actually like some klickedyklick most of the time :)

@muhh If you're otherwise a fan of the klickedyklick, then that's very considerate of you!
