The Scrabble Keyboard

And now for something completely different.... a Scrabble keyboard!

Most of the keys are made from real Scrabble tiles that were all hand-beveled (truly an exercise in patience/masochism!) and built onto a USB, clicky, mechanical-switch keyboard. This keyboard was going into a Mac environment so brushed aluminum for the casing and round all of the corners to keep with the sleek, simple Macintosh styling.

This is so cool. I've got a blog where I write about how being creative and recycling everyday objects can create beautiful things. I'm trying to dispell that "if it's used it's junk" mentality. I'd like to write about your keyboard on my recycling blog. Of course I'd link it to your blog when I do. Do you mind if I copy one of your photos for the article? I'll store it on my own space and not steal your bandwith.
