Pain In The Neck
Since shortly after lunch yesterday, I’ve been having pain on the left side of my neck. It’s steadily gotten worse, but I can still move my head around. I don’t have as much range of motion as I normally do, so it’s bothersome. I wish that I could figure out what I did to it, so that I can avoid doing it again.
I’ve made some ergonomic changes to my work environment to see if that will help. I just got a notebook riser here at work to raise the level of my laptop screen to eye level. I’ve also taken my arm rests and lowered them, so that I’m not resting my elbows on them anymore. I had them set a little too high, and it was jamming my shoulders up. I had to have them that high to get them to slide over the top of my desk to get to a comfortable place to reach my keyboard. I’ve lowered them to the point where they’ll slide under my desk now.
Maybe these changes will help alleviate the pain that I’ve been feeling. Maybe not. We’ll see in a day or three.
iPhone
iPhones have only been on the market for 4 days, and I’m already tired of hearing about them. They’re neat. They’re flashy. They’re by Apple, which has a cult following. I won’t be getting one because I feel that a phone should be a phone and nothing more. If I’m going to browse the web, I’m going to use my laptop. If I’m going to listen to mp3s, I’ll use my iPod. If I’m going to make phone calls, I’ll use my phone.
My news reader has found 90 news articles written with the phrase “iPhone” in the news article since June 4th, and I’m sure are more to come. That’s 3 articles a day about this device.
I just hope for those people that have shelled out more than $500 for a gadget that the iPhone lives up to its hype.
