What Do You Do With Yours?

I don’t know about you, but I spend a lot of time on my computer. So much so that my partner often suggests locking my office so that we can spend some time together – even if its just relaxing in front of a TV show or movie. In a (possibly) lame attempt to do both, I will sometimes bring a laptop into the lounge and check emails (only read - not answer them of course!), do some simple research, and flick through some websites, i.e. not an overly intense activity while watching said show.

Now here is the trick - trying to appear to be doing nothing on the laptop is difficult if you are typing away on the keyboard. It is also very hard to disguise working the laptop mouse pad (which is not very comfortable anyway while sitting on the couch all hunched over!) And as for the pile of telephone books stacked up beside the chair for the traditional computer mouse – forget it! Easily busted!

Well – for all those that can understand the situation and the dilemma – do I have the device for you! Check out The Weramouse for this fantastic wireless handheld mouse that you can hide in your lap, browse the web to your hearts content, while seeming at all time to be looking over your laptop screen at the TV, (conveniently in direct line of site) thus appearing to be enjoying the program, and completing the objective of spending time with one’s partner doing things together..

Post Script: This is not necessarily a practice to be recommended on a consistent basis as it can lead to a lot more trouble than missing a few emails might cause. But - if you really are good at doing more than one thing at a time…
