| What a gadget | Dec 28, 2010 |
my God, looks like one of those BDSM devices. Scary.
Ergonomic keyboards are generally quieter. It's also good that my office is in its own wing of the house so to speak, so that I don't annoy anyone and no-one annoys me. Neighbors are luckily far enough.

It's not my typing that's noisy, it's my saying/singing things out loud - the dog gets very confused. At the moment he's rolling his eyes at yet another half-baked sonnet. Yesterday I was belting out Praetorius's Puer natus / Ein Kind geborn in Bethlehem. There are so many wonderful German carols!
Anyway, the tapping and rattling sounds emitted from the office at least give the impression that there's some work going on. I can even imagine people putting on CDs of typing soun...

Anyway, the tapping and rattling sounds emitted from the office at least give the impression that there's some work going on. I can even imagine people putting on CDs of typing sound effects when they want to have a little snooze.
For warmth, I like fingerless mittens - it's the new translator chic - along with 4 layers of jumpers. I'm currently wearing so much wool, I feel like I should be baaaa-ing. =)

| A friend of mine is starting up a new company | Dec 28, 2010 |
and he thinks there is a niche market for such products, the working title of the start-up is "Unusable Products". I will certainly bring this under his attention, same as this, which is unfortunately in Dutch but the insanity oozes from the pictures...

oh Gosh! how noisy would my keyboard have to be to make me pay for something that doesn't seem handy at all.
| | | | | Thanks anyway | Dec 28, 2010 |
Quite interesting. How about laptops?

| | | | | What about mouse? | Dec 28, 2010 |
I tend to use mouse very frequently and it seems that I would be forced to remove my hand from this greenhouse to click anything
Moreover, I'm afraid that condenstation of perspiration on this transparent film will made the keyboard invisible

That is what I would desire: a Slanket with an integrated keyboard quiet cover. I really want to look stupid!

| Hm... I should take this seriously | Dec 28, 2010 |
Well, my home folks sometimes do complain about the annoying keyboard sound they can hear behind the wooden wall, when I am on a night-project... So I should consider this. Thanks, Nicole.
However, my long fingers and snappy manner of typing will need an XXL size of this, it was quite painful to see the fingers so pressed down to the keyboard on the picture.
