Re: Trackball Mouse

I've used the Logitech Trackball Mouse for a while now, so I figured it was time to give it another review.

Overall, the mouse is an easy to use mouse with an easy learning curve. The only tricky operation I found was to drag stuff around. To do drag and drops successfully consistently took some time to master, but it wasn't a big deal and it got easier once you got more accustomed to the track ball. I’ve had no problems with it doing drawings on CAD.

It’s a true plug and play with no software installation required (I’m using it on the company computer and I don’t have privileges to install stuff). Smooth integration between software and hardware (the computer doesn’t notice a difference between which mice I’m using as far as I can tell).

The new mouse did indeed take stress off my wrist. However, my wrist would still hurt occasionally if I’ve been working non-stop with it. That, I believe, is just muscle fatigue from too much usage rather than strain due to improper support and posture.

The mouse is a decently large size, and thus does provide support for the palm and wrist area. However, I only have medium sized hands (so my dish-washing rubber gloves say), and that fact might not hold true with users with larger hands.

OPI Nail Polish: Green-wich Village

I bought two OPI nail polishes in January, one purple, one green. I'm going to review the Green-wich Village one day since it's near spring and st. patrick's day. =)

The nail polish has a decent formula, it's a little soft compared to those long-wearing nail polishes, but decently long lasting and durable. You need about three coats to achieve the colour on the bottle, or else it looks more like a lighter lime colour. The green is slightly, very slightly, more yellow than blue. It's not super noticeable and the colour does get darker with each layer you put on. The colour is opaque and without any shimmer or glitter. It's just a nice, glossy, and strong colour. It's not a neon, but it is noticeable and nicely bright.

Overall, it's a pleasant nail polish, easy to use and apply. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a green nail polish. It is the true-est green I have found to date. The photos for the nails are below. They were taken by the windows, and there's conveniently some real plants in the background for comparison! =)
