Right after finding out about Cashiers being a hotbed of UFO activity,
my keyboard flaked out on me.
The “o,” and “r” keys would register sporadically,
which is odd given that I only use IBM Model M keyboards.
And why then?
Is it something they don't want me to know?
Or maybe … aliens?
Very odd.
I've probably been using that keyboard for nearly twenty years
(it probably just needs good cleaning,
but it requires a special screw driver to open),
but fortunately,
I have an entire stash of IBM Model M keyboards at hand to swap out.
so I think I'm set for the rest of my life
Because have you seen the prices for IBM Model M keyboards?
Averaging around $150,
with spikes up to $650!
Insane!
I never paid more than $10 for any of mine.
I pulled another keyboard from my stash,
gave it a light dusting,
and I'm good to go.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
