Today
we celebrate two different computer-related holidays: Crackers Over
the Keyboard Day and Race Your Mouse Around the Icons Day.
For
Crackers Over the Keyboard Day, we are dared to eat crackers and
other crumbly food right over our keyboards – but only in jest, I
hope. It's SO not a good idea!
For
Race Your Mouse Around the Icons Day, we are encouraged to spend the
moments when something is downloading, uploading, or otherwise
hourglassing or pinwheeling our computer, instead of just sitting
there patiently, by using our mouse to dart around all over our
monitors and desktops, trying to “touch” every icon.
I'm not
positive this is such a great bright idea, either. When we do
unnecessary computer stuff while impatiently waiting for our computer
to do some other stuff...well, maybe it slows the first, important
task down?
I
don't know that – I'm asking!

| When I say "nurture your computer"... I wasn't thinking of cuddling it! |
Instead
of torturing your computer today, maybe you could do a 180 reversal
on the holiday names and spend the day nurturing your computer. - Find out how the mouse was named a mouse.

| This mouse looks like a mouse... but some mice look like other things... |
- Go wireless, if you can! I love my wireless mouse and keyboard!
 |
| this is what my cool wireless mouse looks like...It looks like the future! |
