Stark optical mouse

The Stark (or is it spelled "S+ark"? Hard to tell) mouse from Microsoft is lovely — a chromium version of some bicameral body part. But the entire left and right side serve as the buttons, which means that you have no place to rest your hand. As a result, I end up clicking three times by mistake for every time I intend to. As my father would have said: Designed by someone who never used it. Ack.

(I'm being rude to my hosts. I'm at the Microsoft Social Computing Symposium, and the mouse was part of the swag. So I should at least mention the two lovely books they gave us, including The Interventionists from a very cool exhibit at Mass MoCA. Also, dinner last night was lots of fun.)
