I guess more so why I am sleepy than a geek. My DW (dear wife) and I had a new baby on December 15th. It’s hard to think so geeky when you’re so sleepy but I try. It was a little easier when I was off as long as I was. In Canada (well in Quebec at least) the father gets to take 3-5 weeks off on top of what the mother takes. Nice little change since our son was born. Now I am back at work and time is limited. What with all the driving and family things I get done at around 9:00 at night and I just crash.

What’s my geeky thing today? I just need to say that wireless devices rock. WAIT… no… this is way more simple than you are thinking. I just bought my first wireless keyboard. I guess I am like the anti-geek when it comes to catching up in that category. The Logitech keyboards go on sale so often that I couldn’t help myself. I bought the LX300 with mouse and KB and then went and got another for my MCE machine. That’s cool – being able to reach behind me to grab the keyboard and mouse to check the web for something while a commercial is playing. My last post was about Ubuntu and the title reflected how far Linux has come in such a short time. The fact is the computers are starting to really turn that corner from appliance to an integrated daily tool. It’s not something that you use to complete a task per say; more of something that is integrated into your daily tasks.

This kind of thing is really cool. Must be like what they felt like when they were able to take a computer from a room and put it on someone’s desk. Now we are taking it from the desk and placing into a computer that is integrated with our home entertainment system.
