@wunch: It's actually the reverse... blogger by day and Mr. Fitzpatrick by night (I teach college freshman at night). Read more

@RushingHeadlong: I generally search Google Images for hi-res images and crop them to fit my weird 900x4800px spread. DisplayFusion Pro rotates them every hour from a directory with about a hundred or so images I've collected over time. Read more

@Dimensiation: Honestly if I go that route... you can find adjustable desk legs online for $200-300. I'll probably do that. It's worth having the smooth movement and not worrying about dumping your gear on the floor. Read more

@natatybuhban: Yes. It's really really simple. As long as you're gentle with the parts and you take the time to slowly open and then slowly close the case to make sure everything is situated just right. Read more

@Flail: That's so true. For instance... 35F isn't very cold to me. 20F as long as the wind isn't howling isn't bad either. Once it gets into the single digits it's pretty damn cold and once you get below 0F cold loses a reference point, unless you count how many seconds it takes to get frostbite. Read more
