ESC keycap Meiji Bulgaria Yogurt

Now new single keycap is on sale.


You may know Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans:



I know Campbell's soup can is very common and familiar in US. But knowing is different with feeling. I can understand the praises for the piece, but I cannot feel anything around the piece. This keycap is a tiny revenge for pop art from Japan.

ESC keycap GNU Head

Now new single keycap is on sale.



You may be more familliar with monochrome version:



When I learned about the principle of free software, there was no zero-price UNIX and compiler on my hardware, PC-9801. There was Minix in the age, but a good amount of money was required to get it. There was no broad band! So the principle was like a fairly tale for me. Monochrome GNU Head was the cover illustration of the book I read.

Moreover, I thought that 'Free source code is good, that's OK. But software distribution for users by source code is awful.' Every serious software should be distributed by corresponding responsible body as binary, I believe, from the day until now.

ESC keycap Beastie of BSD

Now new single keycap is on sale.



In Japan, the name 'Beastie' isn't popular. I've learned it when I've been going to make this keycap. I recognized his name as 'デーモン君 (Mr. daemon).' How about your country?
