Ha, usually my entries are about Big Ideas, vague conceptual sort of stuff I think about. But today I will write about something very mundane and practical, like most bloggers do. My new keyboard. These are actually the first sentences I have typed with it, and so far I am very, very pleased. It's a Unicomp.
Who the hell is Unicomp, you ask? They're a small company in Kentucky who bought the patents and designs to the old IBM Model M keyboard, which I understand was a total mainstay of computing in the 70's and 80's. The keys go clickety-clack, and there's a very nice tactile feedback to it. You totally know whether or not you hit that key, which is not the case with the majority of modern keys. This keyboard actually has mechanical switches in the keys, with little springs that "buckle" at some point, so it's called a "buckling spring" mechanism in the keys.
I have always hated the mushy keyboards, but I dealt with it because I'm a good typist and it wasn't that big of a deal. But I started reading about these and I wanted one. And for at least a day or two, hopefully it will inspire me to write in my blogs more frequently. I mean, I have to type something, right?

Some may feel squeamish about eating it, but rabbit has a fan base that grows as cooks discover how easy they are to raise — and how good the meat tastes.
