Homemade apple keyboard fridge magnets
Demolition runs in the family
So this summer I accidentally broke my precious apple keyboard by spilling a glass of water over it (no, not coffee neither coke). Instead of removing the usb contact immediately and letting it dry overnight I did the mistake to just wipe it off to be able to continue work. That’s when some of the keys died and I decided to unplug it and let it dry. Next day it was still behaving strange and some keys didn’t work so I went to the local apple store and bought a new.
My geeky fridge
Being the curious guy that I am I just couldn’t toss the keyboard as It was. I had to open it up to see the lovely apple construction from inside. It was a pain, it was glued together extremely seriously. Some of my colleagues took some keys and started to build words out of them and that reminded me of Magnetic Poetry. So I was thinking maybe I could make fridge magnets out of the keys. I collected all the keys and took them home, and there they spent a couple of months in a small little box. It wasn’t until recently on a downtown shopping spree when I passed Panduro Hobby it struck me that they might sell sticky magnets. And of course they did.
As you see it’s a Swedish keyboard. I use American keyboard layout when working because it’s brain dead to do any coding with Swedish since it’s optimized for fast typewriting, not programming. What do you think, does my homemade apple keyboard magnets fit in nicely with the ps magnet kit? ;) Have you ever spilled something on your keyboard? Post a comment about it below!
