Every year near Thanksgiving, some guys at work host a 'turkey bingo' for a local charity. Each board is 10x10 spaces and you put your name in a space for 50 cents. Letters are randomly chosen for the columns, numbers for the rows, and then a random combination is generated to chose the turkey winner for that board. I bought four squares, but I'm not sure if I really want to win a turkey. I don't think it would fit in our freezer.

Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
Turn your keyboard upside down and shake it. Are you surprised?

I wasn't this morning, but I was yesterday when it looked like I had collected all of Hansel & Gretel's bread crumbs in my keyboard.
I do the keyboard shimmyshake on a regular basis.
I am always surprised.
Also, I'm thinking about swapping my keyboard and learning Dvorak! Since Miss Kristensue is my partner in geekery, I figure she and Mr. KristenSue (I need to get that man a nickname of his own) might find that interesting.
It'd be weird to know Qwerty and Dvorak typing. because you'd still have to do both unless you configured your mini-laptop (though that WOULD be a good secret agent technique).
I'm still trying to get used to the parking break being next to the shifter and not a thing that i stomp on with my left foot.
*nod* Apparently it's pretty easy to swap your computer settings on almost all major (and minor) operating systems from standard to Dvorak typing. No special keyboard needed, and you can swap back and forth whenever you want.
And supposedly Dvorak will drastically reduce pain associated with typing (carpal tunnel, anyone?). Since I type a lot, I certainly don't mind cutting that particular ailment at the pass.
Also, you use a parking break? Weird.
I also shake my keyboard periodically. Dirty, yes. Surprising, not really. I need one of those little compressed air blowers to get into all the keys.
I feel frustrated every time I think about Hansel and Grettel and those crumbs! Why didn't they use pebbles again that shone in the moonlight?! Those crumbs were their doom.
The surprise was that nothing yucky came out of the keyboard. I have the standard rule of "No eating or drinking at the computer" but evidence proves that this rule is sometimes broken.
On a non-keyboard issue, as a microbiology major, I took 2 semesters of inorganic, 2 semesters of organic, 1 semester of analytical chemistry. I would have taken another analytical and them P-chem, but I...well, I left the gates of St. Peter and headed out to Austin, where they required offered a very sissified version of a micro degree. I guess I am surprised I have much of the same chemistry as you. I feel smarter just knowing that!!
AND....Is Cunao at Machu Pichu in that picture? The mountians look right, but I am uncertain of the ruins.
Anne, did you like organic chemistry like I did?
Yes, I believe Machu Pichu is correct. It must be nice to see awesome things like that on a weekend trip.
Well, I had a Professor Max Puckett for organic chemistry and I adored that man! It was an immense amount of work and I was very happy to make a B in it both semesters. Not nearly as happy as I was when I made my C in Intro to Micro, but that is a WHOLE different story!!
I LOVED the labs with that class but was not as thilled with all of the memorization that was needed to get through that class. For once, I preferred the practice over the theory. I made some of my best friends in that class, so between the friends, the fun and the fabulous Max Puckett, it has to rank as one of my bestest classes ever!
I will not be able to present a picture of myself with the stunning backgrounds that groovyabrina and Cunao have! Drat and phooey on them!!
How fun you're thinking of learning Dvorak! I learned it (using it now, in fact) and it is much easier to use. In Windows, just "add" the keyboard layout in the Control Panel and then it's easy to switch back and forth, no special keyboard required. This is what I used to learn Dvorak.
I use a lappy so I'm nervous to turn it over and shake it. I'm afraid I'll hit the screen on something!
Yes, I'm at Machu Picchu in the picture.
I am always suprised....because I don't eat at the computer.....ever.
I think Tootles gets on the computer during the day........
who knows what all she does......
