Comments on: HOWTO use a touch-screen without shucking your gloves (use a sausage) http://boingboing.net/2010/02/10/howto-use-a-touch-sc.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Sun, 19 May 2013 06:35:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Anonymous http://boingboing.net/2010/02/10/howto-use-a-touch-sc.html#comment-710406 Anonymous Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-710406 'cuz nuthin' says "I love my touchphone" like sausage grease all over the screen. Not to mention a greasy sausage where..in your pocket? Maybe cut one finger off of a cheap pair of gloves? Do erasers work on touchphones like they used to work on Palms and other touchscreens? Just sounds like an awful lot of work and mess for not all that much gain. ‘cuz nuthin’ says “I love my touchphone” like sausage grease all over the screen.

But having recently been in a snowy Seoul, this makes total sense to me.

Then, when you want to use the screen, put your finger trough the line. Maximum cold protection.

Not really sausages, more like processed cheese, but sometimes they taste of fish. In other news, "maekseubong tagitcheung and this just fits the iPhone user base, while the poisonous celebrity, Max is on the stick" is my the best thing I've read all day.

I recently picked up the "Pogo Sketch" stylus. You can use it on iPhone and on the Macbook pad to turn it into sort of a Wacom tablet. I was disappointed that the iPad wouldn't have drawing capabilities but this thing might make up for it. Works well with Brushes and Alias Sketchpad apps. I will say though that they are sort of fragile. A little piece broke off of mine (but didn't effect use) and my friend that also got one had the pocket clip break off his within a day.

"Fish" becomes "Fishy", City = "sh*tty", etc. Reminds me of the mid 90's when people had cityphones. Didn't work well. Everyone thought it apropo that they all said "sh*tty phones" instead.
