The Elves in My Keyboard: A Short Story

Tagged:  •    •  

About a year or two ago, the keys in my keyboard were going out. First this key, then another wouldn't work, no matter how many times or how hard I tapped it. So I wrote this in response.

I was reminded of it today because ants crawl in and out of my keys as I work.

Enjoy!

Half a dozen keys on my keyboard don’t work. Story to come later.

The Gods Must Be Crazy

Tagged:  •  
Remember that diatribe I wrote last Friday? Well, the Napoleon Dynamite gods decided to exact their revenge.
After a lovely weekend of camping, where the only chirping was that of birds rather than phones, where blinking was at the awe and majesty of creation and the Creator God, not computer screens. It was beautiful.
Then we came home.
And I needed my Internet.
But I had no Internet. Nor did we have TV.
Verizon equipment had gone kaput.

My Evil

Tagged:
I would love to blame it on my technological frustrations, but it is my evil that caused the problems all the same. A project needed to be finished by today. It required installing a media software package on my computer, editing video clips, and burning the finished product on DVD. Every one of the steps went wrong, Murphy’s Law wrong. I won’t go into the messy details. It would only serve to raise my blood pressure and bore you. Let’s just say it was a late night.
