As a lefty (as in, left-handed), I have tried numerous ways, since I've learned to write, to avoid the dreaded smudges.
Who amongst us hasn't experienced the side palm dirty with ink and the writing on the page smudged beyond recognition?
My uncle used to write from the top of the page, wrist bent at an uncomfortable angle, nearly writing upsidedown.
My own solution? Hold my hand and pen 'normally', but put my paper sideways, my arm more or less parallel with my torso (depending if I'm writing with table support or not). No smudges of any kind and no (additional) wrist pain. It's garnered weird looks, but if it works.... /shrugs

How do you, fellow lefties, avoid the smudges?

No, People Don't Want More AI In Their Life — Smart Interface Design Patterns

Many companies assume everyone craves new AI features. But the reality is that most people don't want more AI — at least not in the way most AI leaders envision it.

‘A sweeping review of more than a century’s research upends the popular notion that 👈 #LeftHanders are naturally more #Creative.’

Are lefties really more creative? 100 years of data say no

A sweeping review of more than a century’s research upends the popular notion that left-handers are naturally more creative. Cornell psychologist Daniel Casasanto’s team sifted nearly a thousand studies, ultimately finding no consistent advantage for lefties on standard divergent-thinking tests—and even a slight edge for right-handers in some. The myth appears to thrive on coincidence: left-handedness is rare and so is creative genius, plus lefties’ overrepresentation in art and music gets cherry-picked while other professions are ignored.

Short review of the Logitech M650L Left: solid mouse, with a fatal flaw.

Likes: wireless, bluetooth, back/forwards buttons on the right hand side, curved shape, grips

Dislikes: the scroll wheel sometimes doesn't work or skips e.g. when scrolling a single item in a Minecraft hotbar and it drives me CRAZY.

Anyone got any decent leftie mice suggestions, preferably wireless?

Left-handers like me:

* Don't notice artwork inside cups (it's usually on the side they drink from).

* Wonder why latte art is always upside down. (Sometimes I dare to ask for a decaf, skinny, left-handed flat white.)

* Don't need to swap the knife and fork.

* Think scissors are defective.

* Destroy fountain pens.

Anything else? 👈

A look back at the two contrasting halves of the Welsh Fire - Southern Brave double header yesterday and a revisit to my All Tine Ps XI, which because of the date comes with a bonus feature of an all time left handed XI.
