Sorry, MacBook Air…

I checked out the current generation of MacBook Airs yesterday. I have an older (pre-butterfly keyboard) Air. Airs are cheap (for Apple) right now.

I could type quickly and accurately on it, but I really didn’t care for the shallow key travel, so I think I’m going to pass for now

Apple has been faulted for prioritizing thinness and style over function and reliability. For the price they command, I expect better than a keyboard that doesn’t feel much different than typing on the virtual keyboard on my iPad.

Better than some humans, I’d wager

I just heard tell of a town considering a local law governing the behavior of farm animals. Absent pesky inconvenient things like the actual substance of the law, I am free to imagine what they might be concerned about.

Are they going to institute a dress code? Have they finally gotten fed up with Donald Duck not wearing pants? Are they going to outlaw playing leapfrog with a unicorn? I mean, that’s a good idea, but I’m not sure it needs to be a law.
