So then! Today, is Teacher's Day, and the bunch of us went back to Montfort to say "hi" to our old teachers. That was great and all, and it was sure nice to see the people who literally educated us while we were growing up.

After which, I headed down to Comex. Initially, I thought that only Daniel and I would be going, but it turned out that more people were feeling like wasting some time down in the city. So the five of us met up (eventually) at Suntec City and spent some time getting squashed and being suffocated inside the convention halls.

I had a pretty good time today. I tried Clank out at the Sony Playstation booth, and played a little bit of Unreal Tournament with a Razer mouse and keyboard. So probably the best exhibition I've been to in a while.

I intended on buying some more RAM for my PC, but it turned out that I forgot what type of RAM my PC needed. I thus failed in my mission to buy RAM, and instead had to opt for a secondary objective.

(It turns out that I should get DDR2 RAM. Bleh. I'll need to remember that next time.)

Which was to purchase a new keyboard, just because I wanted one.

Well, among other things. I found my old keyboard a little too noisy. It's fun to hear the TACK TACK TACK when you type sometimes, but other times, it doesn't seem like a good idea. Such as when you really do not want people to hear you typing furiously away at something, in my case, hearing me push a few keys repeatedly over and over again to drink more potions.

And well, this new keyboard is nice. I'm typing on it right now. It's not quite the "laptop feel" that I enjoy so very much, but it's much closer to it than my archaic old keyboard. And it was only ten bucks! Whoo.

A few days ago, when I made my decision to indulge myself in a new keyboard, I googled up some very interesting looking ones. Here are a few:

The Eclipse Keyboard



Ain't that just beautiful? Lovely keyboard with a cool blue backlight emanating from within... Drool.

Archaic, much?


Probably not something I'd use, but hell, I'd get one just for the sheer coolness factor.

Custom Keyboard


Uber Thin Keyboard


The Optimus Maximus


I just had to put that one in there. Even though the LEDs would eventually get smudgy from all the typing, what isn't cool about having a keyboard totally out of a Sci-Fi?

And so on a completely unrelated note,
