No idea if this is any good but it seems like a good idea. It's software that let's you use your notebook computer as a second monitor. Of course it's not as fast has having an actual second monitor but if you have an old notebook sitting around not doing anything it might be a great way to get some extra screen real−estate.

The One Handed Keyboard

2003-03-09

So I'm in Akihabara waiting for a friend to get his stuff and I spy this one handed USB keyboard. I have to assume it was really made for one purpose only. 😃 Now all they need to do is make it wireless. 😛

Interestingly, at least here in Japan, it's not being pushed as something to super cool your processor. It's being pushed as something that is much more quiet than a normal cooling fan.

Picture CDs

2002-06-26

Yamaha is about to release a new CD burner that is not only ultra−fast but it can also burn images on the FRONT of the CD like this

That's pretty cool!

I'm not sure which I like better. Printing to a label which can be colorful or just printing on the CD which is probably easier. All the top end Epson Ink Jet printers in Japan have a CD tray built in to them for printing directly on the CD.
