   My laptop stand is a repurposed cardboard wine delivery box, plain brown corrugated. been using it for seven years. Each side is covered with notes: my contact data for different regions, feature ideas, architecture sketches, even little 'zen' reminders for dealing with daily inbound slop, like "if you can read this, you are getting paid for this."

   It has three usable heights (standing, sitting, with/without external keyboard) and actually prevents neck and eye strain.

   Today’s new note for the 'zen' side: 'This box is not the ultimate laptop stand. Do not blog about it.' 0% joking. Well except for the zen note.. that was the joke

   if you dont get an answer, well, with all the page flipping and dictionary work already required, adding google lens on top of the process should not be a huge deal. these books basically taught me research skills without me even knowing. it's valuable to learn to ingest information in other languages and we can do so today in a way we could not do 40 years ago.

   I've worked several disaster responses, and in my experience, many individuals who need FEMA assistance often face challenges like illiteracy or disabilities that make using email and other essential tasks difficult (impossible without constant and regular help). Its not possible to force everyone to use only one method of communication and the nature of a disaster may render email unusable as well. Disaster response can and should be very strongly prepared to handle the widest variety of situations and outages, especially when pertaining to communication. We are all at a higher risk otherwise.
