My new keyboard arrived!

By Jacob Allred | Published: July 26, 2006
Hur­ray! A new key­board! And I almost entirely like it! It has a few quirks that I don’t entirely enjoy, but over­all it is pretty good. Again, this is the Microsoft Ergonomic Key­board 4000.

About halfway through sea­son 4 of Alias. One thing that dri­ves me crazy is how these field-trained and battle-hardened agents close there eyes before shoot­ing a gun. Umm..
