And for your mid-day post while I wait for an installation to finish. Pointless gadgets sometime fascinate me and this one is no exception. Gizmodo has an interesting article about a device from Genius called a “Ring Presenter”. This device fits on your finger and allows you to control your mouse by using your thumb.
