Can you post pictures to a web site, I'd like to outfit my desk like this;
What about a recessed compass to monitor that drift? or do the computer
electronics interfere? No desk lines in case a natural disaster throws the
desk across the room and you need something to grab hold? No knives, ball
and chain or jousting stick in case the office mates make any disparaging
remarks, go agro on you or demonstrate some territorial localism from behind
the divider? With all due respect, I think you're overlooking some key items
that could serve as "precautionary back-up or pecuniary ballast"! We all
must be prepared for any eventuality, even while sitting at our desks! Can
you roll that desk?

Keep paddling those desks,

Craig
