Mechanical keyboards have been experiencing something of a Renaissance lately. With all things hipster and “vintage” making a comeback (overalls, anyone?) it was only a matter of time before the trend infiltrated the tech world. So, what’s all the noise (literally) being made about mechanical keyboards, and are they actually worth the premium cost? Well that depends…
Can you imagine someone watching your every move? It sounds like a script to a horror film, but this is actually happening at alarming rates. And on top of it, the software only gets cheaper and easier to use. I saw this story and it scared the crap out of me (Webcam Hack).
I wrote a limerick today. Thank you in advance for your praise.

Back in 2011 I started my first job out of college. One of the major perks was free Diet Mountain Dew (though I had to walk across the building to get it). I quickly found myself addicted and was sneaking away several times a day to get my fix. It was also around this time I found out about a movement popping up in tech circles: Quantitative Self. The premise was simple; people make the best decisions when they have all the data. Quantified self was a movement where people tracked themselves. They tracked their weight, their mood, the nutrients (and junk) they consumed, all to improve their quality of life.
