TutorialOutpost
Just launched the new TutorialOutpost a couple of days ago.
Migraines and computer monitors?
So this past Friday was quite an interesting day.
It was a normal day of work here in my home office and I had just had a nice, hardy Grilled Steak Stuffed Burrito from the one and only Taco Bell.
I soon began to notice that my peripheral vision in my right eye was going in and out. I was beginning to think I was taking crazy pills so I went and took my contacts out and put my glasses on only for it to get worse.
Within an hour of that I had a pounding headache. I went back to my bedroom to try and maybe rest a little to see if that would help, but this headache had no intention of letting me do any such thing.
Thirty minutes later I called my wife to come home and take me to the E.R…I felt like my head was about to explode and I could barely walk…much less drive.
Long story short…1 CAT Scan, 1 MRI, tons of pain meds, throwing up, and 6 hours in the E.R., it seems I had a nasty migraine. I’ve never had one before and I sure as hades don’t want one again. So, I’m curious…has anyone heard of any correlation between migraines and computer monitors?
I sit in front of a monitor some 8-10 hours a day 5-6 days a week and if that ultimately will cause me to have more migraines, then I really need to do something about it.
Hot Diggity Dogger…I love you
So Unclutterer made a post today about a kitchen gadget that doesn’t pull its weight in relation to the space it demands. In other words, it takes up WWWAAAYYY to much space for doing such a minimal task.
And what task might that be? Freaking grilling hot dogs!
The Hot Diggity Dogger might be one of the most pointless, yet amazing gadgets to ever exist…period.
My gosh I want one.
