Do-It-Yourself Ergonomic Keyboard

First to answer your questions. Yes, he is wearing a pink shirt, and Yes he did cut a keyboard in half and attach it to his ergo-chair. Master of Ergonomics, Sir Brian Craft, did things the hard way by meticulously separating a $14 keyboard in half, then attaching them by a length of cable so that he can put the 2 parts on the side of his ergonomic kneeling chair (apparently a very natural position for typing). Very clever, but I think the whole computer ergonomics crowd will go a bit too far. In a few years you'll find yourself suspended by hooks from the ceiling over your 3 part keyboard tapping one key at a time with a chopstick held in your mouth, but at least your hands won't get sore.
