I talked about this contraption when it first came up as an office-oriented solution to be used with OpenOffice and thought that it was way overdone then.
Now it looks like the uber-mouse has had a coat of black paint, a new name and is being targeted at gamers, particularly World of Warcraft players.
Not surprisingly, it still looks crazy and makes my hand twinge in pain just looking at the product shots. I’m sure there is a place for this mouse but, black plastic or beige, it’s not on my desk, I’m afraid.
Credit to Engadget for doing a pretty decent review all the same.

Well, it’s not much of a post, but I thought I’d link to a couple of things that I’ve enjoyed over the past little while.
First up is Rickrollshaw, a blog tracking three competitors in the Malabar Rampage Rickshaw Challenge, which they call ’2800 kilometres around India in the world’s most unwieldy vehicle’ – an autorickshaw. It’s alternatively known as ‘an amazing race for the clinically insane’.

The site is worth visiting just for the photos, let alone the stories from the race. I’ll also add fortylove.tv to this suggestion as well, another travel-related site from one of the Rickrollshaw-ers. It hasn’t been updated for a while, but the idea is great and some of the short videos are quite interesting, although I think her best travel writing has been about Yemen on her personal site.

Staying with a photography theme, but remaining a little closer to home, Michael Blamey’s photos of Melbourne at Melbourne Today have been really good recently. I’ve subscribed to the feed in Google Reader and having a photo come up every now and then is really nice. I’m sure that there have been occasions where I’ve missed him in the street by mere minutes!

Gouds United continues to do well in the AFL SuperCoach competition, breaking in to the top 500 scores last round. Round 6 looks like it could be a different story though, with too many players out for my liking.
Not much else happening really – most of my time out of the office is being taken up by spending far too much effort on EVE Online these days! I do have travel for work coming up soon to Christchurch and Shanghai, so if anyone has any suggestions on what I should be doing while I’m there, I’d love to hear them.

With the AFL season starting up again, it’s also time for the SuperCoach season! Here’s my bunch of hacks for 2010, here’s hoping that at least a few of them get some gametime:
