I wear a wrist brace on my right wrist to deal with an ongoing repetitive stress injury. Assuming for the moment that this will continue to be necessary--i.e., that I'm doing at least some of the right ergonomic things otherwise, etc.--I'd like to find a wrist brace that fastens using straps and buckles, i.e., does not depend on Velcro. (It should also have other characteristics, e.g., a metal brace extending from the middle of the palm along the inside of the wrist. But those are easy to find.)

Velcro is great stuff. But it was never meant for extended use under stress; the loops de-loop after time, and I have now found it necessary to use paperclips to keep the straps from coming loose. (Which doesn't work as well as I'd like.)

Any ideas?

Weapon of Choice, revisited

You've probably seen the video of Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" featuring Christopher Walken dancing (looking a lot like Brent Spiner in this, actually). If not, you should.

But have you seen the stick figure version?

Update: fixed the (nonexistent) link to the original video, above.
