Another great article (as ever). I'm the father of a three and a half year old boy and nodded all the way through reading it.
Congratulations to you and Mrs Attwood and your families :-)

On Parenthood
Our son was born March 12th, 2009. He's a little over two and a half years old. Now, I am the wussiest wuss to ever wuss up the joint, so take everything I'm about to say with a grain of salt – but choosing to become a parent is the hardest thing I have ever done. By far. Everything else pales ...
I'm currently looking for a replacement for my trusty 2007-issue MacPro. Your new rig has me considering getting a Wintel machine for the first time in just over a decade :-)
If it could run OS X *and* Windows 7 like my 'Pro I'd do it now, but I'm not sure that it will :-(

Building a PC, Part VII: Rebooting
I've had more or less the same PC, with various updates, since 2007. I've written about most of it here: Building a PC, Part I: Minimal boot Building a PC, Part II: Burn in Building a PC, Part III: Overclocking Building a PC, Part IV: Now It's Your Turn Building a PC, Part V: Upgrading B...
Great article, I couldn't agree more. I've been using an old IBM SpaceSaver II server keyboard (no numeric keypad, built in Trackpoint nipple, nice and clicky).
I love macs but everytime I get a new desktop machine I have to ebay the attractive but useless fancy-pants Apple keyboard - all style and no substance. Muggles (non-techies) express surprise when they see my state-of-the-art MacPro connected to an unassuming '1980s style' keyboard. This just goes to show how much they know ;)
PS. Agree wholeheartedly with your view on non-typists. The analogy re: pianists is a very good one. How much time DO you spend at the keyboard ...?

The Keyboard Cult
As a guy who spends most of his day typing words on a screen, it's hard for me to take touch computing seriously. I love my iPhone 4, and smartphones are the ultimate utility belt item, but attempting to compose any kind of text on the thing is absolutely crippling. It is a reasonable compromis...
