My Love of Books(squared)

I spent a good part of yesterday morning mopping up coffee (with cream and sugar) between the extra-small keys of my netbook keyboard. I went through one Sham-Wow (yes, I have a Sham-Wow — thank you, Sarah!) and about fifty Q-tips!

I often marvel at the sequence of events that lead up to moments like this.

BookBookGoing through my normal morning routine, I made a pot of coffee while the dog ate her breakfast. I have two mugs that I use almost exclusively, despite the countless others on the shelf. As it happened, those two were buried in the dishwasher so I opted for a different one. After I drained the first cup in about three e-mails, I decided it was just too small and I needed a bigger one. So I select yet another mug that I don’t often use. Well, that bigger mug threw my whole posture off and got under my elbow at my desk — where I sit every morning with a cup of coffee — causing me to spill even more coffee all over my keyboard. Terrific.

Long story short, with computers on my mind I was reminded of this post I read last month on Design*Sponge about BookBooks. What a beautiful way to marry Old World and hi-tech books.

Today, I am back to my familiar mug and typing on thankfully functional keys that have a slightly different tap to them than they used to…

    Oh, don’t you just love it when your love of writing on the computer meets your love for coffee or tea.

    It’s a shame they don’t love each other though.
