Logitech g5 mouse and g15 keyboard
To match my new sli pc, i updated to gaming-optimized input devices — the g5 mouse and g15 keyboard. The keyboard is cool — the little lcd display during games is very cool. I’ve seen this keyboard in action for months and finally had to get one. The mouse is also cool — the adjustable weights are awesome — i am running in the heaviest config right now but will see where i end up.
One huge beef tho — the lack of certified drivers. Not that I am anal about certification, it is just that install is a PITA as you have to wade thru a sea of warnings from MSFT that these drivers will make your PC break out in hives. Logitech is a big company, MSFT is a big company, why can’t they get their heads together and get this solved?
MSFT Historical Notes
- The return of the spaceship. Alex St John was just 10 years or so ahead of his time.
- LarryO on beeping death — who can forget beeping death? I remember being so excited when I installed the first WFW redir from Jimmo with no beeping.

Via scoble, charles’ blog. Brilliant guy. One of the people at MSFT I really miss working with. Wish your blog didn’t look like crap in firefox, charles. Other great MSFTees I see leaving via minimsft — hadi partovi and don gagne. Also great guys and also wish i had the chance to work with them again.

Ignition Blog roundup
First a non-Ignition blog, but one that ought to be in all our aggregators:
- Mini Microsoft. A constant fountain of great stuff. Don’t just read the posts, dip into the comments too. Important to read not because of any MSFT obsession or any joy taken in MSFT gossip, but because we face Microsoft daily on the recruiting front and it is smart to know what people are talking about there.
Around ignition blogs, the jobster guys clearly are outposting everyone else:
- Jason with a job for someone affected by Katrina. The jobster guys have done a lot for Katrina victims, this is just one example. Here Phil talks about all the things they are doing.
- Phil on the Jobster technology stack. I wonder how decisions at other companies differ.
- Phil on hiring innovators and nurturing innovation.
- Phil on finding relevant blogs. He is right here — it is easy to find posts today but hard to find blogs on particular topics.
- Rich on tracking ferries via GPS. Love the ferry system.
