Whahoo! I’m headed to London today for the 2012 Olympic games! I’m officially taking a week off of the ol’ blog. I’ll be instagramming like a manic if you want to see my Olympic adventures… I’ve got tickets to 3 gymnastics events! My instagram is thecraftblog or follow along on twitter @thecraftblog! Oh yea, I made a London 2012 cupcake topper printable if you’d like to celebrate the games with cupcakes! Also, M.M.M. #117 will be ready to party again on August, 5th!
In other news, our keyboard was disgusting. Check out the “\|” key. Sick me out. You would think the delete key or the enter key would be the super dirty one, but it’s the key that I never touch. Weird. I present how to clean your keyboard…
This is a sick fact, but we’ve owned the computer for about 16 months and this is the first time we’ve cleaned the keyboard. Please tell me I’m no the only one…

I teach computers and most of the students bring their laptops. First thing I do is give them an alcohol prep pad and have them clean their keyboards while their computers are off. I also have them turn the keyboard upside down and shake which dislodges a sometimes hilarious amount of crumbs. Sometimes it takes 2-3 alcohol prep pads but at least we end up with clean keyboards and the students learn a valuable lesson.

Just ran across this post. I would like to add that this is how I clean my keyboard (which needs to be done now!), however, I use rubbing alcohol. Disinfects and if you get too much on a Q-tip, it evaporates rather than getting liquid down into the keyboard

No you arent the only one. I’ve had my computer and white keyboard for 3 years and dusting it does not do the job. My work is cut out for me. Thanks for the tips!
