It's the silly things...

I don't know why, but the silliest things make me happy.

Like my keyboard.

I give you the Microsoft Office Keyboard:


This is by far the best keyboard of all time. On the left, you have buttons Cut, Copy and Paste! How often do you find yourself doing the CTRL-C, CTRL-V routine? Never again with this keyboard.

There's also the Scroll wheel on the left. I set this to Uber-fast mode. I use it to scan quickly through long documents and then use the scroll on my mouse for the more precise scrolling action.

Geeky? Yes. That's the point. Too bad Microsoft discontinued this model after it's first year of production. Fuckers. I've bought a few on eBay over the years. Stock piling for a bleak, otherwise unproductive existence.

There's no doubt about it, geeks have ways to save time that anyone else can have. You just have to start thinking like one of us: Lazy. Anything you can do properly, a geek can do half-assed in a quarter of the time.

Then again, there is this sub-set of geeks that are perfectionists. I don't claim to be one of them. I aspire, but I don't achieve. These geeks tend to find themselves wondering why they spent their entire life perfecting something the rest of us figured out was a waste of time 20 years prior.

Okay, this blog has gone on too long.
