New keyboard, who dis? Image I've been using the Focus FK-2001 for about a week now, and I'm enjoying it. Coming from my Matias Tactile Pro, it's a pretty easy transition (both using Alps switches and all).

I do really enjoy the Tactile Pro, but I wanted something with Windows keys.

A few weeks ago, my wife and I started cleaning out her mother's kitchen of the ~40 years of detritus she's been holding on to. In the fray, I managed to save some really beautiful glassware such as these coupes. My mother-in-law works for a law firm and one of the attorneys gave her these phenomenal sets of crystalware at Christmas. She didn't want to part with them out of guilt, but she also *never* used them.

"Take them!" she yelled. "If you'll use them, take them!"

This ancient piece of technology might be one of my most prized tools. Obviously, it's an analog multimeter, but it has an interesting history.

It came into my possession many years ago when my dad was clearing out his toolbox, and he thought I ought to have it. Image Now, my dad is *not* an "electronics guy". As a recently retired firefighter engineer, he's much better with flow controls and assessing structural integrity. He's the kind of guy who would reverse-engineer those Tuff-Shed structures at Home Depot by sight and memory.

Friday night Tweetstorm, here we go!

This week, I'm watching a legendary(?) VHS.

Let's dig in! Well, this looks promising! Image

It should come as no surprise that I'm a bit of a hockey fan. If you've followed me for any amount of time, you've likely seen the occasional #AnaheimDucksGOOOAAALLL or even the #BelieveInBlueland hashtag peppering my Twitter timeline. Truth is that my love of hockey goes WAY back. I discovered the sport thanks to a particular 1992 Disney film. I grew up outside Atlanta, so hockey really wasn't a thing people understood or even knew about--other than we beat the Soviets in it that one time at the Olympics.

Hey, remember that iMac I was working on last week? The one that I was putting Mojave on just 'cause? Well, I told you I had a project in mind for it! Also: For the record, it's an early 09 model, not a 10.

Let's take a trip, shall we? I used to use this 2010 iMac at my office before it became hopelessly outdated. It's spent close to the last half decade in storage at the shop (just off the left side of the screen in videos, actually). I'm gonna try to repurpose it Image I forgot the account password, so I'm going to reinstall the OS Image

Dug this thing out of a box a while ago. Never had a chance to play with it until now. I'm an XBMC user from WAY back (8.10), and--despite the fact that Boxee had violated the license in making this commercial product--I was actually excited about a set-top box that any Joe Schmoe could plug in and use. Alas! It was just a little ahead of it's time.
