THoughts

I am going to put a gel bag I got from a cushion I used to use, and use it underneath the cushion I now use, which is called wondergel.   Wondergel stops working once it gets warm.  the gel bag can be frozen.   I think using them together will allow me to sit longer without switching cushions.

I realized while I was in the hospital that the story concept was not that ground-breaking as everyone thought.  The author just took the story-concept from Edgar Rice Burroughs for "The Princess of Mars", and inverted it.   Instead of an earthman going to another planet and having super-powers, and man came from another planet to earth and had super-powers as a result.

The concept is "Steal like an artist".  Search for it on the Web to find the article.

Right this very moment, I got an idea for a computer-assitance app.   My typing has become so bad, I am always hitting extra characters or leaving characters out (because I don't hit the key hard enough).  Creating a text substitution app that recognizes that a word is mispelled and looks for a stray keystroke to a neighboring key, and removes it, automatically, while I am typing, would aid many others in my age bracket.
