Halloween Update: I’m gonna make it official, folks. The Snook and I will be taking a year OFF from hosting our annual Halloween party. We’ve done it 7 years running and we just need a break to recharge. So save your Halloween links for us, and we’ll be back bigger and better than ever next…

Wacom Bamboo TouchFor most of the winter, I’ve been having some fairly serious pain in my right wrist and elbow. It went away when we went on vacation but came back soon afterwards. It’s obviously connected to the heavy mouse usage of my right hand, combined with the pressure of my chair arm on a…
