Miyamoto··on The CODE Keyboard
This page kind of explains it: http://ergo.human.cornell.edu/ahtutorials/typingposture.html

The middle image is how I used to be. My fixed desk was too high (even with my chair at maximum height) and so my arm/wrist was bent up.

I then got a height-adjustable desk and a monitor stand, and I made my setup more like the top image. However, my monitor is quite a bit higher that what is shown in that first image. I look straight ahead and don't tilt my head down.

Miyamoto··on What happens when you use a standing desk for two years
The problem with drafting chairs is tall people. I have yet to find one in the 45-50" maximum seat height range suitable for people 6 ft or taller. (Most drafting chairs extend to around 40" seat height, which is way too low for a tall person)

I'm the opposite. I used to use ergonomic keyboards, including a Kinesis keyboard many years ago. It never solved my RSI pain.

What did solve my RSI pain was simple: posture. The height of my desk/chair/keyboard/mouse/monitor were not in proper alignment. Once I properly adjusted all heights the pain went away in weeks. I also got a tenkeyless (Filco Majestouch 2) mechanical keyboard, which helped for its form factor.

Miyamoto··on What happens when you use a standing desk for two years
What is a good stool or drafting chair for a standing desk, for a person around 6 ft? I have a standing desk but I haven't been able to find a compatible drafting chair or stool for my height. They all don't raise high enough.
Miyamoto··on HTML5 Piano
It would be cool if there was a way to convert piano sheet music to QWERTY so you could play piano on a QWERTY piano (if a good QWERTY piano actually exists). Then everyone could play piano!

Do please educate us on its potential, if it's so obvious.
Miyamoto··on Beg HN - last day for my open source crowdfunding campaign (neo4django)
He was expecting someone browsing Hacker News, familiar with the content of his software, to gain interest and donate. He was not expecting John Smith the Front End Guru to donate.

What else could you have possibly expected?

Miyamoto··on Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to retire within 12 months
Windows 7 was not a failure. Your wild accusations are baseless.
