Typing in here will pop up a window on my screen. Don't take it personally if I don't reply - I'm not around the computer all the time. I expect to regret putting this here and I'll probably end up taking it down soon.

Keyboards - posted on Tuesday, August 8th 2006 3:57 am

Today I cleaned my keyboard! It’s pretty goddamn gross in there. Three years of dust, hair, food, etc. Most of the keys had a pretty thick layer of dust around them which was visible without popping the keys out. So I took off every single key, polished them individually with Pledge and used Q-tips to clean out the base part of the keyboard. It’s all pretty now. AND I’m high as nuts from this Pledge smell.

BEFORE: AFTER:
dirty keyboard clean keyboard

Reminds me of the Nate & Di episode where they were scrounging under the keys of their computer keyboard for pot.

Also reminds me of typing class in high school where I’d sit at a different keyboard each day and pop off keys and rearrange them. They’d last for weeks without anybody noticing. My friend Tim actually pulled off every single key on a keyboard and moved it one space to the right. I bet people flunked that class because of us. And I bet some people are still not as efficient at the keyboard as they could be if we hadn’t screwed up the keyboards in high school.

Fun fact: I was consistently THE fastest typer in the class yet I still got an F. Not a D, but an F. Hey, I wonder if maybe it was supposed to be a D but since I screwed up the keyboards, it came out as F instead.
