A Cheap and Simple Laptop Stand
I'm a nomad programmer, a bedouin, and often find myself working at cafes. At the end of a particularly cafe-heavy week I found myself with an awful tension headache due the miserable ergonomics of sitting down and staring at a laptop.

I plan on this version being a prototype, and am hoping the folks at the local hackerspace can help me with a metal or plastic version. However, this first draft already works and is shitty enough to inspire you to make your own, better one. Hack on!
