Hand grenade is yearning to be your special mouse

I have never been able to explain myself the fascination I’ve always had for the two World Wars the humanity faced back in the twentieth century. I am so eager to find out what happened to everything people were supposed to believe in precisely because I just can’t understand the concept of war. It’s beyond my comprehension, that’s for sure.

Therefore, I couldn’t be very enthusiastic about the Hand Grenade Mouse. A cold shiver goes down my back when thinking about having such a device to click all day long to my favorite Web sites. There’s no sense in getting accustomed to something that started its life as a device designed to blow off limbs. So how could I put my hand on this mouse and feel comfortable?

On the other hand, it’s not like my computer setup should be intimidating and it sure doesn’t need a hand grenade to make it more intense. Probably for all the online gamers outside, the device is the perfect solution in order to feel like being in the middle of the action and to amplify the sensation of power.

The mouse is actually made out of an old grenade casing, so it gives a slightly more authentic feel. As far as ergonomics are concerned, the guys who designed the mouse didn’t take into consideration that the mouse might actually kill something: your wrist. But it looks cool and that’s enough, right? In addition, the modders didn’t finish their job before going through the trouble of wiring up the trigger to function as the left mouse button.

As I said before, the hand grenade mouse doesn’t look ergonomically friendly, but the last thing you should expect from a hand grenade is to provide comfort and peace, don’t you think?

Crazy contact lenses

“A contact lens (also known as a contact) is a corrective, cosmetic or therapeutic lens usually placed on the cornea of the eye. Modern soft contact lenses were invented by the Czech chemists Otto Wichterle and Drahoslav Lim, who also invented the first gel used for their production”
Usually, people use contact lenses because they are trying to correct all sorts of deficiencies, which means they have the same purpose as conventional glasses, but they have the advantage of being lightweight and invisible. Nevertheless, there are many contact lenses that are colored by the manufacturer, aimed at those who want to change their eye color.

There’s no doubt about the fact that contact lenses were a fashionable accessory a couple of years ago, when I first had the chance to see such weird inventions of the human mind. And I have always wanted to have my own pair of black contact lenses, but it seems that my dream wasn’t meant to come true, due to all sorts of problems.


Still, I can’t say that the lenses designed by Eun-Gyeong Gwon and Eun-Jae Lee are to my liking. First of all, I must take a deep breath and consider the continuous evolution of the world that makes possible the craziest ideas that could ever cross someone’s mind. The I Contact is something like a mouse stuffed deep inside your eyes. I know it sounds like a bad joke, but that’s the way it is.
When it comes to the insertion of the lens, there’s no difference between the I Contact and other that are available on the market, but what makes it distinguish itself is the fact that the I Contact is equipped with sensors that allow tracking the eye movement. This way, the position is transmitted to a receiver that is connected to your PC. You know what this means, right? That you have full control over a mouse cursor.

When first created, the I Contact was aimed at all of those people who have disabilities that impede them to physically use a mouse. But guess what? This might be a great solution for those who are too lazy to use their hands in order to handle the mouse. So pray for these crazy contact lenses to see the light of the day!
