Computer set-up update. A while back, I obsessed over setting up a case that would prop my laptop screen up at an ergonomically correct height, keep wires set in place so that set-up and break-down are super quick, and allow a keyboard attachment. The goal was to have a little wooden suitcase that I can take to can take in my car and work from anywhere.

Well, I built it. It's essentially a box, where the sides/back are 1x4 cedar boards. Cedar to be a bit stronger than pine, won't warp, and looks a little less ghetto. The top & bottom are hardboard pegboard where the holes allow for me to use zip ties and bolts to secure things. There was one design flaw, where the pegboard does not quite have enough tensile strength to hold everything up without sagging, so I'm working on an upgrade that attaches a hinged font door that will support the front part of the top & bottom when it's closed, plus secure everything inside in a neater looking case. I also need to add more metal loops to act as cable management because all tables are different, which means all the mouse, keyboard, and power cabling needs to be adjustable. All in, it cost about $50 and works like a charm. My internet at home went down, so I'm using it now as I work remotely.
