Ideas from Terry L. Brock
Here are a couple of products I’ve been using for a few weeks now and I wanted to pass this along to you.
If you’ve ever experiencing the strain and discomfort from using a mouse, you know how unnatural it is. Your wrist needs motion naturally. I finally discovered a marvelous little tool that can help you with that and perhaps save you a lot of medical grief and aggravation down the road. It is the new Ergomotion mouse from Smart Fish.
Ergomotion Mouse From Smartfish
I’m no medical expert. However, I know that there are problems of carpel tunnel syndrome (CTS) from using mice on computers. It comes with a pivot base that moves with the natural movements of your hand and wrist. I hear that the static position of the mouse is what can cause strain and irritation. I’ve experienced this myself. They recently gave me this mouse to play with and investigate. Well, I found that this ergomotion mouse feels more natural with movement. I found it to be comfortable and seemed to help me with some slight pain I had from using other mice. If you’ve encountered the strain and resistence from traditional mice, this is one to check out for yourself. $49.95.

Both of these products have been helpful to me.
If you use an iPad, or are considering one (great idea!) you want to have something that protects it without causing a lot of hassle in using it.
iSkin Duo Great Protection For Your iPad
Your iPad needs protection. The iSkin Duo fits snugly on it but is not difficult to put on or take off. It provides great protection for your iPad.
I’ve used this skin for a couple of weeks since they gave it to me and have been very pleased with it. The Duo protects my iPad from damage and also serves as a reasonable stand to prop the iPad up for reading and viewing videos in landscape mode. The iSkin Duo comes in 7 colors so you’re bound to find a color that works for you. A nice feature is that you can still comfortably plug into the iPad accessories like the docking keyboard and plug in earphones (mine worked very well). The iSkin Duo helps to keep your iPad investment safe while retaining functionality. The engineers who created this did a good job of allowing for optimum functionality for the iPad while keeping it attractive and comfortable. It is a good example of function and form aligned together. $49.99, http://smartfishtechnologies.com/products-mouse.php
Enjoy!
