Can you flag certain codes as not actually being a toilet stall? I may want to post one of these codes in the damp corners of a CTA train car (and other stinky locations).

If you are looking for something more pretty, the Happy Hacking keyboards are clean and have a small form factor. They don't have a clicky sound, but more of a "thock" because of the different switches. It also has support for OS X media keys.

If you are considering purchasing a mechanical keyboard, I would recommend checking out: http://geekhack.org/ beforehand. You can gain a better feel for types of mechanical keyboards out there, as the Das is only one of many.

Re:Ask HN: What do you do on your commute? on Thursday April 19, 2012 @11:07PM (#3866339)
I commute just about daily on the Chicago 'L.' Lately, I find myself doing very little for the 45 minutes, aside from sitting quietly and loosely observing my surroundings (e.g., scenery outside the window, flowing of passengers in and out). I suppose there's some meditative quality to it all, in that I only concern myself with the present moment.

Where you live where you observe all of this? I can see how these generalizations hold truth, but on the other hand, I think it would be a shame to see the typical AA stereotype of test-taking, soulless machine, piano/violin prodigy being reenforced.
