A4 Tech G11-570HX Wireless Rechargeable Mouse

After years of using wired mouses, I finally decided to shift to a wireless one.  Using a wireless mouse would usually mean that you would eventually need to change the batteries or you would need to bring a separate  charger for the batteries which is kind of a hassle and defeats the purpose of portability.  Good think I came across the A4 Tech G11-570HX wireless rechargeable mouse.  I've been using A4 Tech mouse's for as long as I could remember.  I particularly like their durability (they normally break down due to physical abuse), easy of use, elegant design, and reasonable price point compared to their counterparts.

Canon Powershot A2400IS

For quite some time now, I've been wanting to upgrade my old point and shoot camera.  My 3 kids are growing up at an astronomical rate and I wanted to catch those special moments with a better quality camera.  Definitely a DSLR camera captures better quality pictures than a conventional point and shoot camera.  However, with the difference in price and the easy of use, a DSLR camera will not seem to fit my needs.  After all, I didn't want to buy something that I didn't know how to use.  The equipment is definitely only as good as it's user.  Maybe sometime in the future when I get more experience and after some photography classes. But now a good point and shoot camera will be just fine.

Aidata E-Z Laptop Riser: Aidata E-Z Laptop Riser:

Got tired of working on my laptop on an uncomfortable position and decided to go out and get myself a laptop riser.  I saw a lot of great laptop riser's out there, but I decided on a few simple criteria: It had to be portable, compact, light weight, adjustable and of course reasonably priced.  I finally found the Aidata E-Z Laptop Riser and found some of it's nice characteristics:

* Folds flat for compact storage and portability.
* Non-skid platform and base with 3 comfortable viewing angles (15, 25 and 35 degrees)
* Durable plastic construction.
* Adjustable base.
* Helps Dissipate Heat.
* Reasonably priced.

I've been using my Aidata E-Z Laptop Riser for a number of weeks now and I'm glad to say that it has helped me a lot in reducing the stress on hands, back and eyes especially during long hours of typing on the keyboard.  Purchasing my Aidata E-Z Laptop Riser is probably one of the best investments I've had for myself in years.
