Juggling Mice

January 8, 2004

If you’re like me, there are times when surf­ing the web becomes a cum­ber­some activ­ity. I’m refer­ring to those occas­sions when for some rea­son (pos­si­bly due to con­sump­tion of a Sub­way sand­wich) your key­board is inac­ces­si­ble. There are also those times when you might be jug­gling peanuts with your other hand and try­ing to surf the web becomes a “jug­gling act” in itself.

The Man in Blue, Cameron Adams, has stum­bled upon (or cre­ated for that mat­ter) a solu­tion of sorts. Uti­liz­ing a com­bi­na­tion of XHTML/CSS, Cameron came up with The Mouse­board, a key­board con­trolled entirely with your mouse. It’s func­tion is so that you, while jug­gling peanuts with your left or right hand can still surf the web with­out the per­ils of inaccessibility.

Another neat fea­ture is not only does it per­form straight surf­ing but it fea­tures a Google but­ton for those times when you’re not entirely sure where to find chocolate-covered roaches.

I thank you, The Man in Blue, for your cre­ative ingenuity.

Before I read Cameron’s update, I also thought:

Why not just use the Char­ac­ter Map, copy and paste into the browser.”

I agree. This is much cooler.
