Top 1 Thing To Keep Your Toddler Away From

Your laptop computer.

This is a picture of my Macbook after my 2.5 year old son got his hands on it:

This is where I start weeping bitterly

As you can see, he managed to remove roughly two-thirds of the keys on the keyboard. I wasn’t happy :)

But, thanks to my new friend Gab at the Irvine Spectrum Apple Store, all of my keys are now in perfect working order (including the broken ones, which he replaced gratis):

Apple genius fixing my keyboard

So, all is well (though, I was without computer for a couple of days, hence the drop off in posting here). Expect more new content in the next couple of days, hopefully tomorrow!

And a great big massive thanks to Gab for hooking me up with a couple of (very small, inexpensive) parts to get me out the door with a working laptop and a wallet that weighed the same as when I arrived :)

    That’s an awesome photo–putting keys back on a keyboard is a royal pain. Though you have to admit it’s funny. Thankfully my dog hasn’t taken an interest in electronic things.

    As a random tip–it’s always great to have a USB keyboard (and monitor) hanging around for when laptops seem to inevitably have near fatal issues with keyboards and screens.

    Glad your troubles are solved!

    Oh the humanity! Why can’t these kids leave OUR toys alone?!?

    Also overenthusiastic dogs. I’ve been through two laptops because my 80-lb puppy has decided to displace it.
