Think your new $1,200 Vista-ready desktop is a bit pricey? Try this on for size: a keyboard that retails for more than $1,500. I’m not talking about your standard, plastic clickity-clak keyboard, mind you. Meet the Optimus Maximus, a much-anticipated—and long-delayed—masterpiece of a keyboard, which has tiny OLED displays on each key that change the layout of the entire keyboard depending on the application you’re running.

This past Thursday my soccer team shut out our opposition by a score of 3-0. Our new formation is giving us the ability to be more physical in the game. I hope that we keep this momentum into next Thursday!
We start playing pick ups again today at Murray Hill. I hope to stay in shape and lose some more pounds!

CHICAGO - The city’s planning board has endorsed a proposal for a twisting lakefront tower that would become the nation’s tallest building.
With Thursday’s approval from the Chicago Plan Commission, the design and site plan for the 2,000-foot Chicago Spire goes to the city zoning committee next week.
“This is a wonderful project, and everyone is very enthused,” said Constance Buscemi, spokeswoman for the city’s planning department.
The 150-story tower, which would feature 1,200 residences, would unseat Chicago’s 1,451-foot Sears Tower as the tallest U.S. building. It would also top New York’s 1,776-foot Freedom Tower, under construction at the former World Trade Center site.
The Chicago Spire was designed by Santiago Calatrava, the Spanish-born architect known for designing the Milwaukee Art Museum addition and the Athens Olympic sports complex.
If the zoning panel approves the plan, the City Council will consider it May 9. If it is approved, construction would begin this spring, said Thomas Murphy, general counsel to developer Shelbourne Development Ltd.
Shelbourne executives have declined to estimate the building’s total development cost. Real estate experts put it at well over $1 billion, the Chicago Tribune and Crain’s Chicago Business reported on their Web sites Thursday.
The tallest building in the world is the Taipei 101 tower in Taiwan, which measures 1,671 feet and 101 floors. A tower in Dubai now under construction is expected to rise beyond 2,300 feet and more than 160 floors .
I had my first soccer game last night and we lost 2-0 I played for about 20 minutes but was extremely tired by the end of each 10 minutes I was in. Time to start running again to get my stamina up

BLACKSBURG, Va. - The gunman in the Virginia Tech massacre was a sullen loner who alarmed professors and classmates with his twisted, violence-drenched creative writing and left a rambling note raging against women and rich kids.

It feels like I’m so close to finishing the flooring in the bathroom, foyer and kitchen at my house. It took me close to three weeks and it has been back breaking work. I just primed the quarter wood trim and now am going to paint it a bright white.
