A new desire...

I don't know if I ever mentioned it here, but my wife's parents are Russian. In a couple of weeks it will be my parents-in-law 50th wedding anniversary.

Anyway, I was designing some invitation cards when I realized that I didn't have the proper font. I needed a cursive, hand written font, and it OUGHT to have Cyrillic glyphs. Searching here and there over the net I finally found out what I needed and finished up the invitations.

Why did I say all of this?

Because when I was searching for the font I found out the next item for my wishlist: the Optimus Keyboard. On the right you can see some of its keys.

It's fully customizable by software. It is possible to configure each and every key to do whatever you want or, even better, develop applications that are "Optimus-aware" and configure each hot-key to show an Icon instead of text.

The possibilities are endless.

It's expected to be released by summer this year.

And I am really looking forward to having it.
