New Keyboard
I got a new keyboard for Christmas. Mechanical. Has higher keys, makes a satisfying “click” sound when you type. Not exactly like a typewriter but not far off. Probably going to annoy the hell out of my wife, but I love the damn thing. Plus, it’s got a bunch of colors, which makes it look…More

I Know I’m Feeling Better
Back before Spotify was the end of all physical music, it was curiosity (“holy shit, I get every song ever for $10 a month? This is never going to work”) and a fledgling social network. Vestiges of this still exist, but it was once much more user-focused; send songs, share playlists, see what people were…More
