Solome was banging on Heather's laptop last week and the "Z" key flew off. I've been trying to fix the damn thing - do you know how hard it is to replace ONE key on a laptop keyboard? Everyone I talk to tells me to just replace the whole keyboard.

I'm like - NO WAY- what a waste of stuff - what a disposable society we live in - it totally sucks.

Anyway, I found a website that totally helped - Machina - they will sell you the tiny little hinges that are underneath each key. It's these stupid hinges that I need!

We'll see if I actually have the skill to fix it though - I was told by a GeekSquad dude at Best Buy that you need this special tool from a jeweler. But the Machina website also has a guide for replacing the keys. I'm pretty good with computers, so I'm hopeful.

Wish me luck.

GlaxoSmithKline in Major Reversal on Drugs

In a major change of strategy, the new head of GlaxoSmithKline, Andrew Witty, has told the Guardian he will slash prices on all medicines in the poorest countries, give back profits to be spent on hospitals and clinics and--most ground-breaking of all--share knowledge about potential drugs that are currently protected by patents.

Here is a cute video of Solome in action . . .
