Death of Reader/iGoogle
Ah man, I was just getting used to having the internet at my fingertips with Google and they go and shut down two of my favorite parts! Now I have to find a good reader AND a good home page... I've been experimenting with the design and layout but it hasn't been perfect.
It'll take me at least a few months to get used to it!
Mechanical Keyboards
After a few more days of playing with this thing, I'm finally starting to get the hang of being able to type accurately. The idea of the mechanical keyboard is that you don't have to press the button all the way down when typing ("Bottom out" in keyboard jargon). That way it saves a little bit on fatigue and allows for quicker typing. The brown switches provide a little "bump" when a key is pressed about a quarter of the way to let you know you won't have to push down any further. To be honest, I'm not sure if there's a true definition of a gaming keyboard. I like this one for gaming because it allows me to quickly tap a key if I need to in an FPS or RTS. Kind of like this guy. It is a little noisy, but I kind of like that solid sounding keyboard. I do love me some Mac keyboards though... I am a big fan of the feel.
Japan - Tokyo Disney/DisneySea
OK, so I'm still a little jet lagged so you'll get a post about Japan... It started off pretty great - we landed in Tokyo and managed to fumble our way down to our hotel near Tokyo Disney. I don't want to cover Tokyo Disney too much, but suffice to say that it's pretty faithful to the Southern California version.
DisneySea is where it's at! Everything was themed so nicely and there was so much more to see and do... I don't have a whole lot of scenic pictures, but see below...

This park felt so much bigger and each "port" had so much detail crammed into it... The pictures really don't do it justice, but every corner of the park was a sight to see. It's a little overwhelming...
(Finally getting tired, I'll edit this post later!)
