Sorry it’s late again.

But my cat ate my homework.

No, he didn’t, but I’ve been in exceptional difficulty this past week just getting out of bed half the time, and moving around has been a challenge.  I’m hoping that a new treatment my doctor has planned, starting later this week, may help.  I’ll do my best to have the new page up as soon as possible, but I’m having to take it easy on myself, so I don’t cause myself a mischief.

A Great Gadget – PenMoto: FUNDED

by ArdRhi on August 11, 2011 at 6:00 pm
Posted In: Blog

This morning, I found out about a Kickstarter project for a fascinating little device that incorporates tiny magnets to help manage your tablet stylus when switching back and forth between the tablet and a keyboard.  Talk about wonderful — if you could just hear the streams of invective when my stylus falls down into my power recliner when I accidentally drop it, or when I lay it on my lap for a minute so I can type a few words or hit a keyboard shortcut, and knock it down into the space between the seat and the side of the chair… It takes about ten or fifteen minutes to dredge it back up out of the Pit of Despair beneath my chair.  But PenMoto looks like it should solve the problem neatly.  So of course I tossed my backing behind it immediately, even though it still had 8 days and over $2,000 to go.

But lo, and behold, by dinnertime this evening, the email notice comes through that PenMoto has been fully funded!  I’m really glad, and looking forward to using this cool gadget with my tablet stylus when I get mine! If you use a tablet, or switch between a pen or mechanical pencil and a keyboard a lot, jump in and toss in your backing…there’s still 8 days to go, and every little bit helps.

Now, back to the drawing board and my contribution to Jenny Everywhere Day, which is coming up on August 13th!

Difficult Week

Ow.

Between the heat and my neck, this has been a rough week.  I may see if I can cobble up a filler for Sunday, because I’m way behind and in a lot of pain today and just not getting anywhere.  I’m sorry, but this is part of the cross I bear and why I don’t work for anyone. If anyone wants to submit a filler comic, I’ll gladly accept the help — I’m hurting.

eLEGS by Berkeley BionicsI did find something neat to blog about, though.  A California-based mobility company, Berkeley Bionics, has developed some new technology for paralyzed persons to help them actually walk, a powered exoskeleton with a six-hour charge endurance. There’s a link to several videos and all sorts of cool pictures.  I don’t need it, but I came awfully close to it, so it’s good to see that there’s something in the works that could help.

Perhaps this could have other applications for persons with MS and CP, as well as for paralytics.  It also reminds me of the “waldo” systems in Heinlein’s eponymous story “Waldo”, about an antisocial genius with myasthenia gravis.

A Hard But Rewarding Week…

First off, this week’s page will be a tad late.  I’m going to try my best to have it out on Monday sometime.  It’s fighting with me, but I’m hopeful.

Also, my body is fighting with me.  I went to a local comic convention and had a wonderful time.  The new powered chair got it’s first official workout for the purpose for which it was purchased.  As such, it was an unqualified success.  I made it through the day and wasn’t a total wreck.  I was, however, exhausted.  But that’s normal.  Today, though, I woke up a mass of pain from head to toe, and getting myself in gear has been hard.  I have to take frequent rest breaks, and the work timer is being adhered to strictly lest I hurt myself.

Volume 1, though was well received at the convention.  I’m happy as a clam.  Now if I can just get this page to cooperate with me!  Argh!  Ok, back to it…please be patient!
