Busy computer yesterday. And busy dreams! Whoa! It really does help to get up right after having them. I dreamt yesterday night that I was faking my death (along with... Craig Newmark??) so that we could flee the factory that he owned that was run by children. And he had this crazy electric car that could morph into glider wings and a tent! Um, yeah. Then last night, I had a dream that I was fleeing (again!) from a castle this time, with the prince, on the back of a talking goose.

Ooooookay.

Given all that excitement, I am actually rather at a loss on what to blog about. So I will write about this keyboard in front of me (tremble at my creativity!). It is black. It has a spacebar in the front. On the right side is a grid of numbers with little arrows underneath them/cryptic PgUp, PgDn, Home, and End marks. There are also separate arrow keys to the left of the number pad, as well as End, Home, Page Down, and Page Up keys. Redundancy is a recurring theme in keyboards, as there are also number keys above the letter keys, as well as two Shift, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, and [windows] keys. There are function keys above the strip of number keys, which seem oddly vestigial considering that I've seen very few actual programs that USE these keys anymore.

In the top right-hand corner, the pleasantly green Num Lock light is on. It strikes me that the very hue it shines would make a very nice color for a dragon.

Reality check. Need I say more...

  1. Forgive me, but who is Craig Newmark?

    Luminous green dragons... very nice. :-)
