If you're a sweaty beast like Travis, you know how difficult it is keeping your hands dry when you're at the computer. Lucky enough for you, someone's come up with a way to make an aerated mousepad for only $35 and some material.

First you need some steel mesh from a trashcan, an antec laptop cooler, some adhesive, and a mousepad surface. Then, you follow the directions on the site to put these all together without gluing your hand to your eyelid—don't ask. When you're done you'll have a sweet windy mousepad to cool off your mousing hand. Now all we need is some aerated gloves so he doesn't suck so bad playing Gears of War on Xbox 360. – Jason Chen
