Let me start with a little confession. I did it again, that really stupid thing that I do sometimes when I'm rushing to get out of the office at the end of the day. I left the power adapter for the Powerbook sitting on my desk.

I know this is probably the eighth time I have mentioned doing this. I know every time I do I say I'm going to buy a second power cord to keep at home. I know that I always say I'm going to sync the bookmarks off the Powerbook onto the home desktop machine. And one of these days I'm going to do all of that.

So I sat down at the home machine, that I almost never use, to see what there was to read at the sites I had bookmarked on it long ago. When I noticed another problem.

A while back we had a keyboard die. No big deal. It happens. So we bought a new Apple keyboard. It was a sexy thing coming out of the box. Clear plastic with white keys. Sweet.

We have kids. My keys were not white anymore. So I began the process of pulling every key and cleaning the crud that was under them and then wiping them down thoroughly before putting them back. So far it looks like I got them all back in the right places. Now they are so clean and white I'm not sure I could even type a dirty word. Ship. Flick. Son of a batch.

Yep. It's clean.
