I use both mouse and trackball (or keyboard nipple if available).

Trackball is nice for when I’m sitting on the couch and need to control the mouse on my HTPC. Generally anywhere you’re space-constrained or dealing with an uneven surface a trackball is super useful.

Pretty much every movie based on a Crichton novel except the first Jurassic Park and the original 1971 adaptation of The Andromeda Strain. Every other one has been awful (including The Lost World which is so far from the book it shouldn’t even get to be called “based on”).

Edit: After sleeping on it, I don’t know if the movie adaptations are objectively awful or if I was just unimpressed because I read the novel first for all of them.

I’ve read it but never seen the movie. lol. Based on the other bad adaptations, I assumed it was one as well. Will check it out sometime!

I enjoyed Sphere…

The novel was great. The movie…eh, not so much (IMO, anyway). Not even the combined powers of Dustin Hoffman, Samuel L Jackson, and Queen Latifah could really make it work for me. There’s just too much subtlety in the book that didn’t make it to the screen.

Oh, I didn’t mean it was perfect, just acceptable. lol

I’m still holding out for a streaming mini-series that is a 1:1 adaptation of the book. I just can’t let that dream go.
