Wouldn't It Be Cool?

The other day my mind started wandering and trying to think of things that might help people interact easier with D2L and other online services. At about the same time I came across this on Engadget. The Razer Naga is a "gaming" mouse that allows the user to program key strokes in a program to a single button. There's a left click, right click, scrool wheel, 2 buttons for you index finger (apologies to my lefty friends), and then 12 more buttons for your thumb. Wouldn't it be cool if we could program button 1 to open up the window that picks your file from your desktop and puts it up into D2L and makes a link in the Content? Wouldn't it be cool if we could write a macro in Word that would take a word document and do the same thing?

OK, and THAT is enough silliness for Friday.

If you don't know, Engadget is a blog that pretty much dumps any kind of rumors, news, or silliness related to technology that they can find. A must read if you need to know everything you never wanted to know about all the new phone, gaming, audio, and computer gadgets that are coming out.
