If you’re like me, too often you find yourself hunched improperly over your keyboard, your back curving into an ungainly arch, threatening to condemn you to a life of Quasimodo-like spinal curvature if you don’t shape up and start correcting your posture. Unfortunately, when I’m in the throes of a good blogging session, I’m usually far too entranced by the flow of words across my screen to pay any attention to this sort of mundane thing. That’s why I need a handy device like this USB Posture Reminder from our USB-obsessed friends at Brando.
