Despite the numerous apps on our computer that help us compile to do lists and then remind us to actually tackle our to do list, our god damn to do list never seems to budge! It seems the 20 other windows we have filling our desktop overshadows our various stickies and Google cal reminders. It seems, that for this here brain, we need something a bit more physical to keep us on track. We've always been fans of plastering the border of our external monitor with Post-It notes, which is why Poketo's version of the age old sticky has us reaching for our wallet.
The Desk-It is a long rectangular sticky pad that you can rest under your wrists while you type, in order to provide a small amount of carpel tunnel support. Jot down whatever you need to keep in the forefront of your brain and then peel off the top sheet so you can stick it to the edge of your monitor as an even more in your face reminder.
The Desk-It even comes in a weekly calendar-style, so you can jot down what you need to do each day and keep your daily to do tasks front and center, even while you procrastinate on Facebook and Twitter. Guilty!

jokerman, I would agree with you 100%. I clicked over from my RSS simply to say the same thing. Uncalled for.
ditto to what jokerman and laura mentioned above.
why would you need to stoop to this level, when you obviously have more talent than needing to use those words?
I appreciate your comments, but I disagree with your assessment that profanity is a crude verbal crutch. Strong language is a great way to add emotion to a sentiment. In the case above, it was used to express frustration over an ever-expanding to do list. I'm not sure what you three are upset about, the word "damn" or the combination of "god" and "damn," but if it's the latter I apologize for any religious insensitivity. That said, I stick by my right to use slightly obscene language in my posts when appropriate.
nice god damn wrist rest!
what's this talk of profanity? is 'paper' a dirty word now?
I agree...completely inappropriate and tacky for a tech website. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised...I seem to recall that this poster previously used the phrase "cock tease" to describe a certain piece of tech. Just where *did* you get the idea that this is good writing?!?
Actually, the "god damn" made me smile. Deal with it, and focus on the god damn post.
What?!?! "god damn"/"god damned" counts as profanity?!? Thats just crazy talk.
I had to look over the post twice before I could even figure out what was so profane to cause such a stink. I thought it was a good post. A god damned good post.
Really?
People get worked up by the words "god damn"?
I didn't even notice it before I saw the first comment. And I had to read the post closely to actually find it.
jokerman: I wanted to reply and note in reality, nobody here has professed any of the claims (in quotes) you've interjected. We've made it a point to make sure to distinguish ourselves from journalists, for better or for worse, acknowledging being a journalist is a different profession altogether.
Blogs have always had a much more colloquial voice/perspective in content compared to traditional media where journalistic integrity has to be maintained, including a more fluid perspective of what is appropriate. That's been a strong distinguishing factor between traditional journalism and blogs, allowing content and an editorial voice that doesn't exist in magazines, newspapers or other traditional sources to arise online, though plenty is crossing over between the two as both try to take the best from both sides.
Anal retentivity anyone?
OH GOD ANAL IS A DIRTY WORD
Teh Internets are srs business.
The vulgarity in the post says a LOT about the writer. Well, *writer* is actually a bit of a glorified term for the *$#@* Sonia.
