When I cat the device, it spits out some junk and then stops.  `tail -f` 
doesn't seem to work any better.

However, once I figured out how to use irrecord, it does look like I 
might be able to come up with something, assuming I can actually make it 
all the way through (I think I was moving too slowly and it kept 
exiting).  Will try over my lunch break since I really shouldn't be 
playing with this when I'm supposed to be working.

Anyway, assuming this all works, is there anything special I need to 
know to configure mouse events (the kb has an integrated mouse)?  Also, 
is there a way to have lirc send some events as if it was a normal 
/dev/input type keyboard?
