Logitech MX Keys Review - It just gives me an excuse to work more!

Logitech MX Keys Review - It just gives me an excuse to work more! With the majority of us working from home during these times, it wouldn’t be a surprise that some of us are looking for products to upgrade our home office. I’ve been meaning to upgrade my desk setup for some time (and that’s for another post), but the things that I’m touching the most when I’m working are definitely my keyboard and mouse. So as part of my desk setup upgrade, I’ve decided to get the Logitech’s MX Bundle after hearing so much rave about it, which includes the Logitech MX Keys and the Logitech MX Master 3 mouse. And a wrist pad… Can’t forget the wrist pad. For this particular post though, I’ll just focus on the keyboard (which is what I’m using to type this up now). Price I wanted to get this out of the way first because this is probably the biggest downside to this bundle - it’s definitely not cheap. Even with the discount I managed to get from my credit card, the entire bundle still ended up at $300 AUD...

My First Time to America (Yes, really this time)


My First Time to America (Yes, really this time)


So this trip was completely unexpected. I didn't think I would visit the USA any time soon but I ended up having the opportunity to visit California, and LA was my first stop. I do have to say - it wasn't what I expected.
On Google Maps everything in LA looks so close together. Each of our destination only seemed to be about 20 mins or so drive away - but that's WITHOUT TRAFFIC. It seems the different parts of LA are only connected by one main highway and everyone spends almost half their day stuck in traffic. On multiple occasions, Google Maps actually directed us to get off the highway and on again at the next entrance so we can avoid the traffic in between.
Traffic aside, we still had time to visit most of the landmarks we wanted to go. The hike up Runyon Canyon Park was beautiful and was easily the best part of my time in LA.
There are also so many doggos around LA! I saw at least 40+ doggos during my few days there.

My First Time to Europe (but not really)

My First Time to Europe (but not really) First time in Europe! Well sort of. I had the opportunity to visit Dublin for business and I've never travelled outside the APAC region before. I only had the opportunity to visit Dublin on this trip, but we still were able to squeeze some time out of the trip to rent a car to visit the natural scenery surrounding the city. Our group doesn't know how to drive a manual car (don't judge), but we had one person who claims he's had enough experience before so when we rocked up at the car rental and the employee told us they didn't have any more automatic cars available, we were all counting on him. Turns out, it was all a bluff. We were stuck at a single lane cross intersection for three traffic lights in a row! We stalled so many times on the way back to the hotel to pick up the rest of the crew and we were going at 20km/h max! After we got back to the hotel, we realised that we forgot one person (not intentional...

Circles!

Circles! One week trip in South Island. Started off snowboarding at Coronet Peak where I finally learnt how to complete the s turn (It's only my second time properly snowboarding, my previous times going to the snow were for skiing). The snow was so much softer and fluffier than the snow at Perisher (which made crashing landing so much more easier).

If you don't know what that is, just check out the below (it's not us - we're weren't that in sync but it's goals) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Park Rat Snowboarding ™️ (@parkratpack) on Feb 25, 2020 at 4:11am ...
