About this site

For six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul

Touch-type relief?
I recently read of a study that determined that extensive keyboard use doesn't cause carpal tunnel syndrome, but my own personal experience suggests that's baloney. In any event, an exciting new keyboard called the Touchstream purports to eliminate typing-related injuries, and it will be out in July, according to the New York Times. The big deal here, apparently, is that the Touchstream offers Zero-Force touch-typing, pointing, and gesturing, meaning you aren't physically striking mechanical keys all day, which just might have the same effect on your joints and nerves as jogging does to your knees. You can even pop out the keyboard from its frame and use it with a laptop, though that looks kind of lame. Will work? I don't know, but I might just ask for a review copy and find out.
