The Combimouse
Insanely great or grossly retarded? Okay, the name is a bit retarded (not that I can think of anything better), but would this new spin on computer input be truly functional or just awkward? I have to say that the idea of not having to take my hands off the keyboard to move the pointer has great appeal, but then, wouldn't a regular keyboard with an integrated trackpad or track ball provide that same convenience (less the supposed improved ergonomics) without the avant styling? Anyone ready to try one of these thing?

Kicking Appliance Butt
Props to the Samurai Appliance Repair Man at Fixitnow.com for able assistance in repairing my clothes washer. The self-described "Grand Master of Appliantology" in New London, NH, provides a wealth of how-to knowledge, spiced with wacky humor, for the low, low price of free. His schematics, step-by-step instructions and expert tips are so helpful, in fact, that I'm seriously considering a modest contribution to the United Samurai Beer Fund. Or a mention on my blog.
