The Ultimate Keyboard
This is simply amazing. Beautiful, usable, and sexy. The Ultimate Keyboard from Microsoft is a bluetooth, backlit and rechargable keyboard and mouse which honestly is the first product from Redmond that I have to have. (via FayerWayer).

Printer suggestions
I’ve put off getting a new printer for a very long time. Partially because we rarely print things at home (since we usually use an online photo-house to get our photos done), and also because I was not very impressed with the printer market.
Having not “shopped around” for several months, I was wondering if anyone could steer me towards a good printer? What am I looking for? Here is what I’d like in a new printer, in order of importance to me.
- Inexpensive ink cartridges
- Quality of text printing (black on white)
- Full bleed color photos
Though we do not print photos at home all that often (it just isn’t cost effective anymore), I would still like to retain the ability to print a fairly high-quality photograph full bleed.
Also, the printer must work on the Mac OS - though most, if not all, do.
I don’t really have a budget, but I will say that I do not want an all-in-one printer, scanner, copier, fax combo. They are bulky, and only do a fair job at each task. I’d like a printer that does well at printing.
Any suggestions would be welcome, thanks in advance.
Stammy’s birthday
TUG friend, 9ruler and crazy blogger Stammy turned 20 today, and what better present than to be working at Yahoo!. Happy birthday Stammy!.
Switch to Inferno
Damn, sometimes I hate blogs and the stupid things people do with them, It irks me. I’m sure you all remember the “Make me switch” guy who made such an appealing case (I don’t have money for a Mac, get me one) and raised enough money to get a 20″ Core Duo iMac (don’t get me started here, a Mac mini would’ve been less stupid to ask for). Well there have been others doing the same thing (no link love for you losers), and now others are trying to get your money with the most idiotic campaings.
Let’s start with the Mac OS X to Linux recent events, and how someone is trying to get a hold of your money because of that. John Gruber made sure we all knew Mark Pilgrim was ditching Apple a while ago. Mark wrote some very interesting articles about it and for the most part I enjoyed John’s responses to those articles, it was entertaining. But it’s not like I gave a damn about Mark switching his OS, it was his and John’s little arguments that made me waste a few hours pretending like I cared about it. Again, I didn’t care for his decision and you bet I won’t waste my time with another blogger ditching Mac OS X, and I’ll go back to Windows before I spend my money on a guys tattoo, yea read on.
Ttoday, a friend mentioned Cory Doctorow (boingboing is one of the blogs I never read) was following Mark to the promised OS. Big whoop, right?. Well as I said, I couldn’t care less. Now, Cory has an Apple tattoo (again, is this exciting for anyone else?) and some guy started a Dropcash campaign to raise $1000 and help Cory remove the tattoo. Yes, someone wants you to use your money to help some guy get rid of a tattoo. What the heck!. I mean dude, there are floods forcing people to leave their homes, and you want to help some guy get rid of a tattoo?. Granted, the guy says if Cory doesn’t want the tattoo removed with that money (or not removed at all) the funds will go to charity. Cory is not poor, I’m sure he doesn’t need strangers paying for his tattoo removal process, so why would you even start this campaign?.
The “Make me switch” guy looks like less of a loser now asking for that money, I mean at least the guy was pro Apple, but wasting your hard earned cash on a donation to remove some guy’s tattoo just because he decided to stop using the company it was about? I don’t know about you, but it sounds completely stupid and irrational to me.
So. No I do not care about Cory ditching Apple, nor did I care for Mark P. but at least that proved to be great reading material. I think it’s stupid to ask for donations to remove Cory’s tattoo, Jonathan (of toxic software), think about it. And you’re just a loser if you ask people to buy a Mac for you.
Then again, I may be on the wrong side of this. Perhaps I’ll ditch Apple as well, and ask people for money to buy me a Dell XPS to run Vista (crossing fingers for it to run fine though). Haha, go get yourself a Jack Daniels and enjoy the rest of day.
Widget: Mint Referrers
Even though I don’t use Mint and think it’s useless, I have to admit this is one awesome widget. It kind of looks just like Mint (I do love the look of it) so you know it’s sexy and it shows the recent referrers to your site. Stuart is making it available on his new wdgty.com site for a mere $5.
