The way I see it, if there is anything I need to invest well in – it is a good mouse and keyboard.  With the freelance contracting and writing that I do, it is my proverbial nails and hammer to get the job done.  So when my old mouse died off, I saw it as the perfect chance to grab the Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro.  I have been using it a little less than 24 hours, and thus far I love it.

That is one wacky looking mouse!

The first time you see the mouse, you might think it is the ugliest computer add-on you have ever laid your eyes on.  Once you put your hand on it though, you understand that ugly feels pretty damn good in the palm of your hand.  Also, this thing has more buttons on it than I have ever seen before.  For browsing on the web, the two side buttons are nice – because by default they are used as backwards and forwards buttons.  The big thumb button on the side is cool too, even though I don’t use the Windows Vista 3D flip all that much (and I can change what it is programmed to later of course).

Keyboard fits like a glove!

The keyboard has a really nice feeling to it to.  The keys are waved in a way to make typing on it feel more “natural”, or so it says on the box.  I can’t complain yet.  The keys have a good feeling when they are pushed too.  It feels good.  I also usually hate all the programmable keys that come across the tops, bottoms, and side of many keyboards – so nice to see this one doesn’t have that many. 

All in all, I am very happy with the purchase, and I would give the Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro two thumbs up for any other web hosting guru, freelance contractor, writer, and geek out there like myself.   If you don’t trust me, Cnet has also put out a nice video review of the combo.

Here’s a little description taken from the designers:

After a huge success of our theme called “ygo lonely”, we have come up with this – a slightly twisted version of the same named YGo Loner. It is again a 3 column wordpress theme with black and grey as the dominating colors. The page links are on the top bar with title and description towards the left. Two grey lines outline, the header, intelligently merging it with the body of the text.

No matter if it has to do with skins, wallpaper, icons or visual styles for Windows XP – I like to tackle it all. There are so many different things out there to choose from – and I am pretty good at picking out the best of the best – so sit back and enjoy.

Depending on how well this first post does, I might have to do more roundups of desktop customization tools. Here are some of my recent favorite wallpapers.
