Mouse for the Couch (via Engadget)

For those of us who spend most of computing time on a couch instead of a desk, this story (and accompaning video) show how to make a compelling desk-less, wireless mouse.  I am very impressed and will have to see if I can make one.

My MP3 Player Solution

I've been struggling with what to do now that my music collection is larger than my MP3 player. I've looked at the Apple 60 Gig iPod and other solutions.  Many of which looked like good, but couldn't make up my mind.  When a random Google search left me on a site which showed how to replace the harddrive in the Creative Zen MP3 players ( I have the 30 Gig version of the Creative Zen Xtra and have really liked it).

New Microsoft Natural Keyboard that they didn't screw up?

I was worried that they had stopped working on natural keyboards.  I am really a fanboy of the Natural keyboard, but in the last five or so years, they've been trying to modify the cursor keys, or the Ins/Del block too much.  I actually bought a few ancient natural keyboards on E-Bay a year or so ago so I'd have a stock of them in case MS gave up the ghost.

Well, after looking at this review...I am convinced.  Bought!
