Why not just get something like the Logitech DiNovo Mini? Its a bluetooth keyboard/trackpad combo that fits in the palm of your hand. Logitech only supports it on Windows, but its recognized on the Mac and should work as a keyboard/mouse on Linux as well. I've not tried it with Linux as none of my boxes have bluetooth...

I did a few DNS lookups with dig to see if they were faster than my ISP, and discovered that OpenDNS is redirecting www.google.com to their domain! It seems that this issue has been going on for at least a month, and has been discussed in the OpenDNS Forum and in Google Groups as well."
