Local North Kingstown Resident Harriet “Gidget” Loomis Invents The CloudCush Mouse Cushion

The Baseball Storyteller

Most people prior to the computer age would shriek at the sound and sight of a mouse.  After a bit of research, I discovered that the first prototype of a computer mouse was in the late 1960’s by a man named Douglas Engelbart.  The computer mouse was later made popular in the 1980’s via Apple Computer.  A computer mouse originally had a cord that connected it, the mouse, to the computer, giving it the appearance of a small rodent, also known as a mouse.  Computer mouses (or maybe its mice) can now be either wireless or with a cord and are … Continue reading Local North Kingstown Resident Harriet “Gidget” Loomis Invents The CloudCush Mouse Cushion

Some Sun-Sational Facts about Safe Sun and More from Direct Doctors

The Baseball Storyteller

I have always struggled in the sun.  Call it genetics – fair skin, light eyes, blonde hair.  Not just with sunburns, but also heat related illnesses like dehydration.  My joke is that I would get sunburned just thinking about the sun.  Over the years, I become a lot more conscious of applying sunscreen and paying attention to the heat.  With school age children, I want the summer months to be as enjoyable as possible so I have become a huge advocate of safe sun activities and practices.  And this year, I asked the experts at Direct Doctors for their take … Continue reading Some Sun-Sational Facts about Safe Sun and More from Direct Doctors
