Testing… Testing…

I just plugged in a new keyboard at my desk in the office. Just test driving it. It is not as nice as the one it replaces, but it has a number pad and I had reached the point where I couldn’t live without one anymore.

Long live the new not-quite-as-clicky, clicky keyboard.

Clicky

I really like using clicky mechanical keyboards like this one that is on my desk in the office. Jen gave it to me. I like it a lot, but I really miss the number pad. I find myself reaching for a number pad multiple times a day when I work at this desk. I’m thinking about looking for a new clicky mechanical keyboard that has a number pad. I don’t know. I don’t want to spend money on it though.

Mostly this is just because the work day is ending soon and I wanted to post a picture of something and I am in the office so really my keyboard is the only subject available to me. You know how it is.

Typing

My wife is on a bit of a computer keyboard journey right now. She’s looking for that one special mechanical keyboard that has just the right clickity-clackity sound.

She bought two of them. That means I get to inherit the one she rejects. This blog post is literally me test driving the second place keyboard on my work computer. I like it. I have to try it out with my work software to make sure function buttons work correctly, but for now it’s all good.

Happy new keyboard day!

What Was This?

I saw this out the window today at work*.  One car pulled over and seven state troopers on the scene, including one who was blocking the second lane.

This was a little before 1:00 PM. A little more than an hour late I heard two co-workers talking about all the staties and I looked out the window and not only were they still there, but there were two more along with an ambulance.

*I misspelled “more” like four times. I thought it was me. Then I misspelled two more words that had “r” in them. Now I’m wondering (this was another “r” typo) if I am seeing the first sign of the fatal MacBook Pro keyboard issue.
