Geek Tip: Use Old Mouse Pads to Fix Wobbly Chair Legs

GeekSugar — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 14:30:14 -0700

Last week I showed you that old mouse pads needn't be tossed in the trash or Goodwill pile - they can be re-born as coasters. On that same token, the soft squishy fabric is great for a number of uses around the house.

If you've got a table or chair that's semi-wobbly, cut a small piece of an old mouse pad to fit under the wobbly leg.

On chairs, you'll want to affix the padding with some glue, so you can move them without losing the pads, but for a table, you probably don't even need any adhesive at all.

Stable sailing!

Geek Tip: Turn Old Mouse Pads Into Coasters

GeekSugar — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 11:04:19 -0700

We've all got them lurking around our desks at home and work: old, unused mouse pads. They're flat and not taking up too much space, but they've got a second life in them, easily!

My super quick geek tip is also green: turn your old mouse pads into coasters with five minutes, a pair of scissors, and a pencil.

Just take your mouse pad and mark pencil lines so you know where to cut. Use a ruler or a straight edge for neat edges. Then, simply cut along your lines, and ta-da! Instant coasters ready for the party. You can get creative too with different shape cutouts or adding designs to each coaster.

Too Cool For School: Headphones Mouse Pad

GeekSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 06:00:18 -0700

Mouse pads are usually just cute, maybe sometimes fun, but they're almost never this rad! The Headphones Mouse Pad ($7) is made from an original screenprint design - the medley of colors and the headphone print are TDF, right?

It's way cooler than the primary-color gel-wrist mouse pad I'm rocking right now, so maybe it's time to change it up. My mouse will thank me.

Modern Cool: DWR's Aluminum Mouse Pad

GeekSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 05:00:47 -0700

A lot of people don't like modern because it can be cold, but sometimes when it is that means it's really, really cool.

Such is the case with DWR's Aluminum Mouse Pad ($35), which is spare, striking and literally cold to the touch (except for the felt wrist rest, natch).

It may lack a certain patterned flair of say, a Marimekko mouse pad, but if you're edging away from using mouse pads because of their Office Space-type looks, then this version might work great for your own fabulous office space.
