Why can’t anyone just make a keyboard that works anymore.. I discovered that the Tactile Pro has the same kind of weird ghosting key problem as the Smartboard did. On the tactile pro, if I hit ‘o’, ‘p’, and the spacebar in that order with the right timing, sometimes I’ll get a spurios ‘enter’. This […]
A place tucked away in the Glen Park neighborhood. Yelp rated it pretty highly, and it did not disappoint. It serves Californian style food with a touch of Southern influence (Lisa got a seafood gumbo) With drink, appetizer, and dessert, the total came out to $40 a head — a reasonable rate for good food […]
Just got it today. And so far, I like it. It has almost the exact same feel as the SmartBoard, but a more normal layout. It’s also quite loud, but the keys aren’t as stiff as some others made it out to be. They’re actually quite light, just about what I like. It’s also clear […]
The cable guy came to set up my 8mbit service this morning. Seemed simple enough. Setting up the physical connection was simply a matter of connecting cables in my building’s cable box. Setting up the rest, on the other hand, sucked. The guy insisted that he had to install some software on my mac. He […]
I hate to sound smug (great South Park episode btw), but its really amazing to me how much even somewhat “saavy” computer users know so little about virtualization (and by saavy, I mean confident enough to post in some public forum about it.) There are so many misconceptions.. like: It’s just for software testers. While […]
Ponzu, a joint with pan-asian cuisine which I went to for my friend Andy’s birthday. I had seen it on various rankings so my expectations were pretty high, and this place did not disappoint. Pretty much everything I had their was good, if just a tad on a salty/heavy side. They tend to have very […]
Went to a hole in the wall Chinese restaurant that got good reviews, called Jai Yun. At first site, it seemed interesting.. there was only a prix fixe menu with several prices (ranging from $45/head to $150/head). The appetizer was encouraging.. 8 small dishes with all tasty samples of various pickled vegetables, preserved meat, and […]
So the keyboard reviewer at ATPM seems to prefer the iceKey over the Micro Connectors Flavored USB, over the Tactile Pro. Deck Keyboards also sells a 82-key version, which I still think the use Cherry switches for. It looks like Fujitsu announced an upgrade to their Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional series (now its version 2). […]
