Exciting entries, recalls of riveting events.

Can money by love? @SteelSeries bought mine.

In early December, the B key on my keyboard broke. The stem of the key cap fractured and I was left typing without the use of the letter B. Okay, well, not really. The contact was fully functional and I was able to type despite the absence of the key (I ended up striking the […]

My FILCO Majestouch Keyboard (and why SteelSeries annoys me)

Today I received my FILCO Majestouch Tenkeyless Tactile Click Keyboard. It's got Cherry Blue MX switches, which are (as far as I know) the same as the ones in the Das Keyboard.

Couldn't hail a cab (and other sundries of my day)

I went over to Michael Andrews Bespoke yesterday to pick up my shoes, and the studio was ever so slightly hectic, with two people getting fitted and otherwise serviced for a suit. Even so, Marian was helpful and helped me with my shirt order. She recommended a dark gray chambray that I liked and was intrigued […]
