Connect A Desk - the pocket protector of the New Millenium?

One thing about being a Geek is you have to resolve yourself to looking ...well...geeky every now and again. Even in this brave new Geek Cool world functionality may come at the cost of your pride. I take you back to the 70's and 80's and the manda-nerd-atory pocket protector. Yeah it looked ass-tacular but it actually served a purpose and it worked. (I feel it necessary to point out at this juncture that I have never worn, nor would I ever wear a pocket protector.) The same could be said of 80's nerd favorite...the fanny pack. It made you easily identifiable as a geek but it was functional as hell and it was with GREAT reluctance that I gave up my fanny pack when the world cruelly turned against it.

Well in this bold new Geek Cool world it's time once again for a Geek badge of courage and I think it just might be the Connect A Desk! I have definitely found myself in a fruitless search for someplace to set-up my laptop to show someone a video, or to make a quick video. Finding a flat, clean, safe surface can be a challenge in the field. Connect A Desk to the rescue. from the Connect A Desk website....
