I just picked up a WASD ( http://www.wasdkeyboards.com ) with Cherry blues, and I love it. I'd previously used a flat Apple keyboard for years and I was concerned that it would be a difficult transition - but it only took a

I saved about a year's worth of living expenses before I quit my job, but I was probably being overly cautious. Just know that there are lean times (and slow-paying clients), so it's advisable to have enough saved to cover those
