Mouse Blisters make your Mouse more Grippy

Mouse Blisters are little stick on squares that are supposed to make your mouse more "grippy" and eliminate strain on the hands preventing carpel tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and general hand fatigue. The Mouse Blisters are made up of the same rubber material and shape as bicycle or motorcycle hand grips, just cut into small flat squares (albeit the standard grips, not the more expensive "mushroom" grips you had on your Mongoose BMX bike with the rotor, double pegs, and mag wheels). You place them all over your mouse to provide the maximum grippiness and comfort.

As silly as these may look on a mouse and really that name is a bit unfortunate (how about "mouse grippers" or "gripsies" or "ergogrippers"? pay me later for those ideas Mouse Blisters Marketing Dept.), I think they might actually work. It will allow you to slightly alter the shape of the mouse to better fit your hand ergonomically and the raised surface of the blisters could serve to cool off your hands by allowing air inbetween your palm and the mouse. They cost $9 for a pack of 25 which should be sufficient unless you're using some crazy gigantic mouse.

Sometimes laptop computers can get extremely hot on the bottom (I'm look at you Apple MacBook), enough to scald your legs or make it uncomfortable to use the computer. Many computer accessory companies now make cooling fans to keep laptops cool, which not only saves your leg but can prolong the life of the computer by keeping internal parts cooler. A lap desk can come in handy for using your notebook computer on the bed or couch or even floor by raising it up to an ergonomic level.

Here's a unique lap desk from Japanese company Sanwa that combines dual cooling fans with a traditional lap desk. The dual fan system and lifting tray, enables your laptop to stay cool and be angled more comfortably for typing. The right hand side has a flat area that can be used as a mousepad or for note taking on paper and in the back right there's a cupholder for your coffee or beer. The legs fold up for flat use and the fan plugs into your computer via USB. Cool (literally).

Being a parent involves knowing a few key phrases that you have to repeat to your kids over and over again. You also have to provide food for your kids and I think that pretty much sums up all of parenting in a nutshell. Food and yelling. Well with the Dad-O-Matic
