The Keyboard Story

Some progress.. and some destruction

Well, today it is two days ago since I got my brilliant idea. The keyboard has recieved some more drawings, and the E-key has faded even more. Tomorrow I'll probably have to repaint it, or at least fill in the lines. For now it'll do though.

This is what I've been up to:

I will post again tomorrow eventually, to display my achievements!

I just filmed the keyboard, did some editing and uploaded it at YouTube. Have a look at the masterpiece:

Yeah, it's astonishing, I know.

1 days damage

Maybe this test will be shorter than I expected.. After only 1 day of typing, one can clearly see that the keyboard have taken serious damage. Have a look at the pic above and you see what I mean.

Actually, it's hard for me to hit the E-key now, since I know I'm destroying it.

I guess I'll have to repaint the thing from time to time :)

Little sister, big mistake...

Some days ago my little sister (7 years old) was left alone by my computer to watch Ice Age 2, one of her personal favourites I might add. She does so regularly, and nothing serious has ever occurred before, not counting eating all my secret candy hide-aways and leaving melted ice cream on my computer desk.

This time it was different. She had found one of my CD-R pens - as you all know, their traces might as well be eternal. Well I'll see about that, because my beautiful little sister was helpful enough to draw some very good looking black lines over my white logitech keyboard, and scribbled some on the desk as well.

Well, I'm not mad at her. It is an old keyboard and I was about to buy a new one anyway. But the occasion gave me an idea, why not paint all over the keyboard? Like when the computer has crashed (it does regularly, dunno why) or a program freezes or I'm stuck in a boring call, it would be great to have something to scribble on.

I thought it would look cool. I also figured that the drawings/paintings would fade in time, but I think it would look rough and distorted. Maybe cooler as well.

So I drew some flowers. And started painting QWERTY. And that's about how far I am today! Let's see how this developes. My plan is to post here every time something bigger has happened to my keyboard, both destructive and constructive.

PLEASE NOTICE:
The Keyboard is very dirty. I am trying to clean it as we speak. Please bear with me.

The first post. What's this all about?

Hi there,

As you hopefully already know this blog was created to tell the life of a keyboard. My keyboard, to be precise. It's made just for fun.

* Disclaimer *
No animals nor humans was harmed during the making of this blog. Some keyboard testing occured, but all in line with common accepted standards.

Well that's all for now. Just wanted you to know.
