weird stuff on my keyboard

[hukilau]

I keep my room dark when on my pc. I eat and drink, probably same as a lot of u folks do when visiting techimo. Their are some strange looking colors/stuff on my keyboard.
Cant make most of it out. Looks like burgerking stuff, maybe some pizza dribbles. Dont know exactly.
Strange finger prints and smudges never seen before till I turn the lite on.
Guess a clean up is in order, but not sure what I'm cleaning up!
Anyone else have stuff on their keyboard?

Yeah I got stuff on my keyboard but it doesn't appear to be the same as your stuff................

Just looked, nope, it's pretty clean, but then I always have a light on....

Just a side note, Hukilau...I believe you can cause eye damage watching a monitor or TV in the dark like that. I'm not 100% sure of it, but I AM sure of the eyestrain.

Maybe you might check it out, hmmm?

yeah , youre probably rite knothead! But, at 5 a.m my brain can't handle brite florescent. Usually, later in the day, I will turn on a couple of lites.

The weird colors is probably mold from the food your keyboard couldnt digest. Mold can grow and make some pretty and furry colors...

I believe damage from viewing video in the dark is an old wives tale. The worst you should experience is eye strain which is a comfort factor. Same goes for watching the screen a few inches from the screen.

I think part of the reason for the dark is I enjoy my little modded Lian Li with all the purty blue lites!
My bosses kb looks like it just came out the box! Go figure.

I dunno Knot, that sounds like one of those old wives' tales. You know, like if you don't wear a coat on a cold or rainy day you'll catch a cold. Silly stuff like that.

The main issue with looking at a monitor for long periods of time (light or dark surroundings) is that people have a tendency not to blink as often as they should. This causes your eyes to get overly dry and from there just sore and irritated. I don't know, but it would seem possible that this tendency to not blink when viewing a computer monitor might be accentuated when the monitor is the only light in a dark surrounding.
