My most used tool. :-)

Handheld closeup that could be better.
I'll try to find the time to improve it.

Great color and composition here! It reminds me of a red ladybug. Very nice job!

Thanks Ed, you're right! I've now pushed the reds and blues, and the contrast a bit for more punch. -Anders/FretNoMore

(*) Consider bumping up the brightness/contrast? -Ed Hahn

The mouse mat is of a wet-suit like material and usually a soft cushion for my right elbow, to minimize the pains of a whole day at the computer. I just liked the read-white-blue combination so I put the trackball on it for this picture. -Anders/FretNoMore

When I think about it, it's a strange combination - trackball and mouse mat? One advantage of a trackball compared to a mouse is that it doesn't have to be moved around on your table-top...? So what's the mouse mat for? --Olaf

Oh I see now! I had the scale all wrong - the mouse mat looked like wall-to-wall carpeting to me, LOL! I have tried a Logitech Trackman at work, but definitely prefer this one myselfhttp://www.kensington.com/html/2200.html , though I've had to modify it slightly - lifting up the front a bit to make it more level. --Olaf

Olaf, that is a Logitech trackball on a mouse mat. :-) -Anders/FretNoMore
