How Many Blog Posts Have Been Written?

I'm loving the new freedom I have.

I work on a laptop here at my desk. Since the first week or so here, I've used a detached keyboard so that I can push the laptop back on the desk and still be able to type.

The b, n, and spacebar keys stopped working last week. And the cream on every key had become a kind of tan.

So, yesterday, I took apart the detached keyboard, prying every key off the actual platform to clean the keys and the platform. That thing had what could have been pounds of dirt, hair, food particles and such; all that fell onto my lap and/or the floor and some made it into the trash can.

Now my keyboard works, again. And I'm pushed back from the desk just a little bit - not crouched on the computer screen.

And its great to have my hands free during a conference call... multi-tasking - typing the notes for the meeting, blogging, listening, etc. OH! My phone receiver just blacked out and 've got the conference call on speakerphone.

I wonder how many blog posts have been written while the author was on the phone.

I like to do arm circles (forward and backwards) when I am on a conference call. I try to get to 100, then I switch directions. You can even hold onto staplers, or tape dispensers to add a little weight onto your arms when you are doing the circles.

I still haven't quite figured out how to do crunches and push ups during conference calls, but I think that's my next big project.

if you turn your keyboard upside down, it's really nasty what comes out. i just did it and and immediately regretted doing it. now i have to go wash my hands.
