LCD Monitor and Bad Ergonomics
I bought a 17″ LCD Monitor (a Samsung SyncMaster 740N) from Kingsford yesterday for $325. Came home, set it up and started happily using it. Went to sleep, woke up with a stiff neck. I did not make the connection to the LCD monitor immediately, attributed it to my sleeping position. After brunch, I got back to work and sat down in front of the lapper and realize that I had to strain my neck to look at the LCD on the left. Then the light bulb went off, I should’ve put it on the right of my lapper!
Look at how far the mouse is from the LCD - which means I have to keep my right hand holding the mouse while turning my head to the left to face the LCD monitor.

A little lesson learnt, this is much better…

Also caught a nice rainbow over Kingsford yesterday for your viewing pleasure.

Warm orange glow over the skyline at dusk..

This camera doesn’t do them justice of course.
