I like it. It looks a bit minimalist.
This makes me wonder what the most minimalist keyboard available currently is. The Happy Hacking keyboard, I am guessing.

The most minimalist has way less keys than that and is probably the DataHand (or something close to it, like a one-handed DataHand if such a beast exist?).
I like the look of the keyboards he realized, reminds me of the ErgoDox. Not that contrarily to the HHKB the keyboards in the blog aren't "staggered" and are all split. The HHKB appeals to many because it has incredible switches (Topre) yet stays very close to traditional keyboards that people have been using for years and years. It's not easy to adapt to a non-staggered layout and some people are allergic to split layouts.
If you're into that sort of thing, GeekHack.org and Deskthority.net are good places to hang out on.
good to see a GHer on the front page of HN... It's a nice board you made there and I prefer your thumbs key placement than the one on the ErgoDox, which I find to be too a bit too close one to another.
The ErgoDox layout is nearly identical to the Kinesis and Maltron layouts, so it's not exactly without precedent, but yeah. I think we can do better :)
