What about having some gizzmo that watches where you are looking
on the screen and makes the mouse pointer follow that.  Blinking
your left eye sends a left mouse button event, right eye is the
right button, and it would ignore (almost) simultanious left- and
right-eye events so you could still keep your eye balls from
drying out and falling out of your face. <+_*> |^)
