		<description><![CDATA[One of our favorite unsung heroes around the shop is our clipboard collection.  They are great for helping us keep our various project papers neat and organized, plus we always have one with us in the trucks when we head out to a scene for better note taking.  Without them, we probably would be able to read our own handwriting.  Depsite their utility, we have never found ourselves sitting around thinking on how to improve this venerable tool.  Good thing there are companies like OXO out there.  With a one swipe of their design pen, they added a simple but very nice improvement to our friend: a concave edge on at the bottom making balancing it on our bellies much easier.  As an added bonus, the board is also coated with a non-slip surface to help better secure all those papers.  Pretty nifty if you ask us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At work I use a laptop 100% of the time and at home it is at least 50% so I have become quite comfortable typing those style keyboards.  The only time I use anything different was with my personal desktop where I have had a <a href="&#60;a href=">Microsoft Natural Ergo Keyboard</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=tekp05-20&#38;l=as2&#38;o=1&#38;a=B000A6PPOK" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> for the last 4 years or so.  The problem that I kept running into was that my fingers and hands were so used to typing on laptop keyboards, that using the Natural Ergo from time to time slowed down my typing.

This weekend I was at Staples just browsing around (I have an office supply fetish) and stumbled onto the Digital Media 3000.  At less then $30 bucks, I figured what the heck and bought it.  So far the transition has not been quite as seamless as I had hoped.  My muscle memory is still getting familiar with the new board, but overall I really like it.  The keys are super quiet and low profile and the hot keys have worked without having to install the software.  The only real oddity is that you have use F Lock to access the F keys, but its not like I really use those all that often anyway.]]></description>
