Voice recognition programs, such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the PC and Dragon Dictate 2.0 for the Mac, can be heaven-sent if you're struggling with repetitive stress injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This software is affordable (less than $100 for...

As an aspiring ebook author and lover of books, I've been excited by the growth of ebook readers. I got a Kindle myself a couple months ago and have been using it when I travel. But, as someone who has...

I've had a Herman Miller Aeron chair for several years, and haven't had any complaints, but I've seen in the comments for that review that not everyone is as big of a fan. Well, for those who want an upgrade,...

As I've written about numerous times, voice recognition software can be a great way to give your hands a break. When you think of computer-related RSI and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, you might imagine programmers and web designers as the primary...

I'm always interested in causes behind symptoms that often get lumped in under "repetitive stress injuries" (RSI). We blame typing and poor ergonomics for a lot of our woes, but when I was having a lot of trouble with hand...

I've had laptops for years, and I love the convenience of being able to tote my computer around, doing a few blog posts from the couch, penning a story from bed, or just sitting on the floor next to the...

When you're writing your bestselling novel, pounding out code, or raiding a dungeon in World of Warcraft (hey, we don't judge here), it's easy to sit at the computer for hours on end, barely moving more than your fingers and...
