Gaming Injuries: It’s A Dangerous Business
We've all been there and had sleepless nights in front of the screen playing away on our favorite games nonstop.

Soft & Fuzzy: Creative Felt Designs
I love felt. I don't know what it is about it, but it's a great material. It's got the yin and the yang. It's soft, yet tough. It can be colorful or dull. It's so versatile you can wear it in the form of socks or clean your car with it. I would probably drape myself in felt if it were socially accep ...

Do you ever wonder why we all started using a mouse rather than any other way of interacting with the user interface on the screen?

evoMouse Pet: The Cute Hand Gesture Controlled Mouse
We've seen a lot of creative yet gimmicky computer mice get released over the past few years, but this one might have enough steam behind it to get moving. Maybe. The easiest way I know to describe it to you is that it's like a mini version of the Kinect. In other words, your finger is to this mouse ...
The Geek Way To Keep Your Hands Toasty Warm
I don't know about you, but my hands have basically been cold nonstop for four months. I've been freezing my butt (and hands) off this season, and I've never before written so many articles about snow and cold weather.
I have a space heater running continuously underneath my desk. It has truly be ...
All In One: Chameleon X-1 Mouse Two Times As A Game Pad!
Gamers have a thing for game pads. When they first appeared a long time ago in a galaxy far far away... hmm... they were simply called controllers. They were a way of controlling the sprite, the object you were playing, on the screen. Back then it was the 8th wonder of the world, but today the te ...
Used Computer Parts Become Realistic Vehicles
Being a computer geek, I have tons of used hard drives, mice and other items all connected to a computer. Due to the fact the upgrades are always incorporated, the old gear gets the boot and ends up in a box down in the basement. Why I put it there, I have no idea. Maybe it's because I am hoping ...

The Secret Life Of A Mouse In Pictures
The last time I wrote about the daily life of another creature, it was all about a fly in an articled called, "The Secret Life Of A Fly In Pictures." However, that article was very different since it focused on a photographer who positioned dead flies for his interesting photographs.
In this exa ...
An Illuminated Calculating USB Hub Mouse Pad!
At first I was a little skeptical when I stumbled upon this multi-use gadget. However, then I started to see the actual genius in it. I couldn't even tell you how many times I have had to start the calculator when working on designs and code. It's all very annoying and takes up screen space, but ...
No More Mouse: MIT Invents Invisible Mouse!
We all knew that the day would come, the day when something would make the mouse obsolete. Many prominent tech company leaders have suggested that we will no longer be using a mouse in the future, and by the looks of it, it seems to be true. Even though the mouse is a great tool for navigating our ...
Sculptures Made From Rat Poison Packaging
Ok, by now you know that when I come across something that will put your weird shit-o-meter into overdrive, I have to write about it.
I have no experience with rat poison. Well, other than watching it on the classic movie 9 to 5 which I've probably seen twenty times. However, I feel like I've g ...
“Delete” Wipes: Clean Dirt Off Your Computer!
I think everyone agrees with me that the keyboard is probably the most dirty and germ infected spot in your whole house (yes, even more so than the bathroom as suggested by an episode of Mythbusters). Cleaning your keyboard and mouse is probably the best thing you could do to prevent getting foul g ...
