...Slight criticisms of his new album aside, Harper's live performance evoked maturity beyond even the best of his recordings. The concert began with a tried and true favorite--"Gold to Me." It is hard not to be charmed by Harper's singing. He makes every breath count, every word becomes signified. If we could hear the sound of a diamond in the rough, that would be Harper's voice, so close to perfection that the imperfections hardly seem to matter and conversely add character and integrity.

One alternative might be to shake your own hand, brandishing the two-handed clutch in front of your face like a champ while looking the voter in the eye. No. Too much self-congratulation. A politician...
...game. Now Logitech's WingMan Force Feedback Mouse ($100) lets you be more discreet. It looks like a regular cordless mouse but doesn't have a telltale pad. A force-feedback engine lets you feel realistic rumbling in games like Activision's Heavy Gear II. It also provides slight resistance as you scroll over onscreen buttons, making clicking easier. So long as your boss doesn't catch...
