I feel like there was a missed opportunity to use some of the spare computing power on the desk to add some helpful navigational autonomy. Like using a backward facing web camera for lane assist, obstacle avoidance, route following, etc. Could leverage something open source like Autoware.org to get most of the way there.

I feel like a treadmill desk would have been way simpler. Unless you like sun glare and spotty wifi.

Okay, now put the whole thing on wheels. I can finally go grocery shopping during my scrum.

Wolfram uses a walking desk but it’s more of a laptop support like a baby bjorn. I kind of want one but looks like they need a bit of customizing.

There are also under-desk treadmills that you can use with an existing standing desk. You need to be able to raise it a bit higher though.

The point would be to be outside. Were traveling right now and I can’t find the link but if you search for wolphrams life hacks type of thing there’s an article he wrote about it which was a fascinating read.

Personally I have an elliptical at home with a laptop stand on it and I love it.

Isn't this bad for the Ethernet cables?

Just get a wireless ethernet adapter (which exists and I loathe the fact that it does)

If they are straightened out they might not be able to mingle/mix-up.

I'm sure it runs pretty well, though

I think I really need this table.
