AirMouse

The article located at: http://www.gizmag.com/airmouse-wearable-mouse/13993/ is about a new invention that promises to help the stresses of repetitive mouse use. The AirMouse, is it is known, is a revolutionary new mouse you wear like a glove. The AirMouse came as a result of one of the production company's founders getting a repetitive stress injury and trying an ergonomic mouse that wasn't quite so ergonomic. The AirMouse has a simple concept. It aligns naturally with your hand. It won't work until you lay your hand flat and allows for seamless transition between typing and scrolling. The AirMouse is slated to hit store shelves within 6 to 12 months at a price of $129.

My Favorte Blog

My favorite blog, and frankly the only one I read on a regular basis, is written by former professional wrestling manager Percy Pringle a.k.a. Paul Bearer. I watched him growing up leading some of the most outrageous characters the professional wrestling world has ever seen. His blog however is not entirely about the wrestling business. He does post stories from time to time about his travels, however the majority of his posts are related to his life in retirement and outside of the business. This gives his blog a more personal feel and inside look at a business few fans would ever get to experience firsthand.

Thoughts on Blogging

Though I had never posted a blog before today, I have known many others who blog quite frequently. I have never felt the need to put my personal thoughts out there for others to critique. Instead a hobby of mine has been html for a while. I have designed a few sites, though nothing major, which are for personal use. I have also helped to maintain a business website. Now that I have tried blogging, I still don't think it is something I would do on a regular basis, but it is definitely something different which I can use for a creative outlet.

Microsoft Office 2007 for Students - Cheap!

Microsoft is running an offer especially for college students called The Ultimate Steal. For a limited time, students can obtain a copy of Microsoft 2007 Ultimate Edition for only $59.95. To qualify for this offer, you must be enrolled at a US educational institution and have a valid e-mail address that ends in the edu domain. Considering this package is available at retail for around $500, this is a fantastic deal for students. So check it out and save some $$$ today!

Even though you can download the software from the Web site, you should also consider purchasing (for an additional fee) the software on DVD. This will make reinstalling the software much easier in the future in case you have a problem (such as your hard drive fails).
