I feel all tingly

Using a Captains of CRUSH grip-strength trainer to exhaustion and then immediately using the computer makes the physical act of typing feel totally fascinating.

say more? like you can feel the sensuous glide of each key to its backstop? :)

Well, to find out, you should really order yourself some CoC trainers and try it. :) But to be more specific, it feels like each keystroke is incredibly delicate and precise and fine, like my fingers are tiny waving fronds on some undersea plant, or like I'm tickling microscopic creatures who are giggling.

that sort of description is why i asked. ;)

I'm unconvinced that I need to buy any, but I'd be interested in trying one of yours just to see what it's like. (My RSI-afflicted hands would need to start verrry slowly, but I suspect some strength training could alleviate the worst of my occasional tendonitis.)

No fair, using your name and a krustukles icon. It plays with my mind.

moominmolly June 26 2007, 18:57:26 UTC

But it's such a perfect image! Of course I credit her in my icon page, but would you prefer I change the icon?

Nah, my mind could use some play. It's a little dead right now. It's Cruiser's fault. We went running last night and under his encouragement I ran 2 miles farther than I should have. My mind, following the example set by my body, is toast today.

PS - adding to the confusion, I can see her doing the same thing and pondering her fingers as well.

Is it anything like the sensation of driving a great big manual-transmission moving truck all day and then getting back in the little bitty manual-transmission sport coupe I had at the time? Narrowly managed to avoid ripping the shifter right out of the console at first, and then it felt like I was manipulating this incredibly tiny and delicate mechanism.

moominmolly June 26 2007, 19:23:19 UTC

Heh! Yes, quite a bit like that, only with more muscle fatigue.

Apropos of nothing, do you find yourself walking along saying "Captains of CRUSH" to yourself, with echo effects?

moominmolly June 29 2007, 14:10:13 UTC

Oh, yes. Yes.
