Alternative input devices
I've long been a believer in a utopia where we all are freed from the bonds of QWERTY keyboards... Let's face it, keyboards are over one hundred year old technology, and really not that great. Typing isn't that natural, after all.
Much to my excitement, ExtremeTech has been reviewing a bunch of alternative input devices the past week. I'm not sure I'd like to use any one of them permanently, but they sure look like innovative technology to me. It's great to see some development in the sector, despite numerous failures in the past. Catch the goodness here.
On another note... This week is weird, having two Mondays, two Fridays one Saturday and two Sundays. Weird as opposed of the usual four-Monday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday week rythm that is. What do you mean this makes no sense? Let me explain...
My week system
My week system has four days: a Monday is a day when you're working and you've got work tomorrow as well. A Friday is a day you're working, but you're free the next day. A Saturday is a day when you're free, and free the next day as well. Finally, a Sunday is a day when you're free, but you have work the next day.
Now, the reason why this week is even weirder is the fact that we have labour day here on Thurday, which results in a week with three days work, one day free, one day work, two days free. You can do the math, right?
Usually my system works great... it's really all you need when keeping track of what to do when, after all the names of the days are pretty insignificant, but when it's the fourth Monday of the week you know it's going to be friday tomorrow, and that can't be bad, can it?
Maybe I should just shut up now. Yes, I'll do that.
