In every sport or hobby I've taken part in, there's always an anti-gadget crowd that eschews the Latest Thing. And some of them start getting all snooty about how those who use those gadgets aren't doing whatever it is for the fun of it. And mostly, they're completely wrong.

Well, I'm pretty sure such a gadget couldn't be based on smiling versus grimacing. Sometimes when I'm having the most fun I'm pretty sure I look like a gargoyle - mouth agape, lips skinned back, gasping like a fish on the dock...
