off topic - shift key

i'm not sure how far off topic this is, but the shift keys on my surf toy keyboard have gone wonky and are gobbling up my typing on an unpredictable basis. so far, the problem hasn't made it over my busted give-a-damn. it's easier to just avoid shifting to upper case. the caps lock works fine, but all uppercase is hard for me to read because it runs the letters lines together.


thoughts? reactions?

you are the e.e.cummings of ds

Also my attempt at humor.

I don’t like all caps either in a sentence. It’s hard to read.

the gift to myself is sparing myself the tech time of fixing and/or replacing it. i can't remember the last time i actually enjoyed tech shopping. its far more chore than joy these days. the only thing meaner than a technophobe is a tech burnout.

yup, e.e.cummings was the first in my justifications, as well, though it never occurred to me that he could be funny. maybe just 'cause he was forced on me in english lit classes. if an english lit approved poet can do it, it must be academically blessed.

a few caps are nifty for EMPHASIS, but i can't even read a page full of all caps. they fill the space so completely that the lines all blur together in my tired old eyes. bar code is easier for me to read than all caps.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.
