"Hi, coffee! Glad you could make it! Say, have you met keyboard? Oh, you really must meet! Here... let me introduce you!"

Well, after all my years using a computer... not bad, huh? Pretty good track record wouldn't you say? Huh? OH! Don'tcha know?!! Oh dear!

Resident genius and coffee addict here, for the first time ever, dumped an entire cup of coffee over my keyboard. It was doing just fine for a bit but by the time I got home from work it had decided that it loved self-typing "7" over and over again without provocation. And, it looks like my keyboard and the letter "e" must have had enough of each other after all. In a word... kaput!

No, I'm not writing this from my keyboard (see aforementioned situation). And, I don't know how soon I'll be able to be back in business given that Apple doesn't seem to have much fondness for us designery types who live in the middle of freaking nowhere. So, I haven't the foggiest idea whenst I shall come upon an Apple compatible keyboard in my neck of the woods...???

Fear not though, Kids! Your Uncle is on the case and will do his best to rectify (that's fancy talk for 'fix') this situation as soon as possible!

So, that gives all y'all a little extra time to enter the giveaway (through the end of today anyway).

"When you gonna blog, Beef? I don't know when. But, we'll get together then, Kids. You know we'll have a good time then."

  11. That's no fun. I hope you get it fixed up in no time as I enjoy reading your posts! Too bad that's not covered in apple's warranty. I'm always worried I will do that same thing so I keep a little coaster on a table next to my desk where I keep my drinks just to be safe.

  13. Welcome to the club Beefy! I killed my cell phone by baptizing it in spaghetti sauce and my best friend zapped her computer by spilling the remaining milk from her bowl of peanut butter puffs in every nook and cranny. We creative folks can't be trusted with these sorts of things.

    Best of luck!

  14. OMG, that sucks. I know someone who did that to their brand new macbook pro. Had to pay major bucks for a repair. Perhaps you can order a used keyboard from ebay or something... Good luck!!
