This keyboard was so awesome I wanted to do a cool "photo with comments in flickr" thing. But I couldn't figure it out. However, if this works, you will witness it's brilliance. Behold!

I want to make this image bigger. It deserves to be bigger, and it will in fact get bigger if you click on it. But I still want it to be the width of the blog, and I have no idea how to do that. I shall discover all this later, edit everything to look awesome, and no one will ever know.

Well, except for you.

New Kicks, New Tricks

When I started this blog I said to myself "Self, if you can update this at least once a week, you'll be fine."

That was about 2 weeks ago.

It's not my fault. I blame the zombies. Well, technically they're not zombies. They're spanish villagers infected with "Las Plagas". But I'm playing Resident Evil 4 for Wii. And in Resident Evil, they're all zombies to me.

Got new shoes. I think they're awesome, and so they go in the blog. Like so. 

That should have been easier. Blogspot crashed 3 times while I tried to upload that. In other news, Apple is still awesome. Here's why. 

I just recently got a new keyboard. I shall go into "why" in another post. It is a work of art. It's a fucking keyboard, so it's ridiculous that I'm so enamored with it. But it's shiny. It just looks awesome. You know those flying cars and futuristic everything we're supposed to have? Well this is what they should look like. The future is now. I'm literally typing on it.

Secondly, this thing has no wind resistance. Its so low to the desk that my wrists are barely above the surface. No stupid gels, no ugly arm supports, and yet the carpal tunnel is avoided. Sheer genius. 

But the best part? The best part is F7 through 9. Forward, Play/Pause, and Rewind. I can control iTunes without ever going into the application after opening it once. Steve Jobs is the smartest, kindest, and most brilliantest man on the planet. I bet even his crap is shiny.

Scottish Tourism Board Makes Me Look Great

After a quarter million dollars and 6 months, Scotland unveiled a new slogan: (the faint of heart may want to sit down for this one)

“Welcome to Scotland.”

More than most people, I understand how hard it can be to sum up the entirety of a product, service, or (in this case) country in a few simple words. Still, this is just amazing. I wish I’d been there to see the final pitch. I imagine it went something like this-

”Ladies and gentlemen, we feel this tagline communicates every nuance of the tourism board’s noble task. It successfully lets the world know that they are welcome. In Scotland. Also, I got the copy off my doormat.”

If you say the above in a Scottish accent, it’s twice as funny.
