They all look great, thanks to i3oiler for taking my request to run the GB for the hammer and make a sweet idea come true. Stand up guy and fellow keyboard hobbyist. Keep up the goods =]

Awesome, i3oilermaker. That means I will definitely be able to include some keys in my giveaway =D.

Looks great!

Glad I came up with idea for a Pi key.

And the Times Roman font.

Really? I don't think you mentioned that...even though I had the SVG made before you did...

I still threw in an extra of each pi since you are convinced you invented pi. :lol:

Actually I first said Franklin Gothic. a bit of a GH font rendering issue there.

And he who has the Geekhack first times stamped post wins this game. Alas, Geekhack seems frequently unavailable lately so this link no workee.

In any case thanks for the extra key! Glissant said he'd give me another if you didn't.

Ripster, it all rendered the same on my computer, since I don't have either font.

i3oilermaker: Those pi keys are HAWT! Ideally, we'd have a lot more scientific ones in the future, though I don't know if anyone other than me would be interested. I always liked the stretched S of an integral symbol. (Actually, I liked the double/triple one with a ring around it, for area and surface integrals, but I'm a sucker for maxwell's equations)

I can't wait.

Melissa, Great job on the sickle handle, I know you were worried about that. I'm still not letting those Geekhackers forget about the plaque they owe you.

Or PM me if you want a signed Ripster beer coaster! Or PM me a pic of yourself with a keyboard on your head if you don't mind and I'll autograph the plaque.

I'm not one of those Internet trolls thinking women should be in the kitchen baking Pi.

Большое спасибо Comrade.

You aren't using USPS click to ship online? You could be relaxing and printing off paid shipping labels and let your carrier hate you big time picking them all up from your house...
