New keyboard

my ergonomic friend


I got a new keyboard today, mostly because I've been doing crazy amounts of work lately and I started having weird little tingles in my thumb and forefinger. I figured it might be something carpal-tunnel-ish, which would be very bad because my leisurely freelance lifestyle doesn't come with health insurance. But then I talked to my friend and he said when the same thing happened to him, he got one of these ergonomic keyboards and the problem went away.



I've always been a little skeptical that a weird-shaped keyboard would make a difference, but I walked up to Office Depot this afternoon and bought one just in case. After setting it up, I noticed it kind of looks like it's smiling at me. And if I watch my fingers when I type, it looks like it's talking whenever I press the space bar. In reality, the keyboard is much better designed (and has more buttons) than it looks in my little painting, but I think you get the idea.



What's that, keyboard? I should stop typing now and go in the pool? I think you're right.
