    The Laptop Cozy

    Ikea1 I've got a laptop that I absolutely love.  It's the only computer I have these days that can run World of Warcraft, and as such, it gets a lot of action.  Unfortunately, it's still second place after my desktop in functionality, if only because my desktop has a full-sized keyboard, slightly faster internet connection, and all the word processors that I sometimes use to type out my posts for blogs like this one here.  My HP has been the best desktop I've ever had, but without a RAM boost and possibly a faster processor, it's about at the end of its lifespan. 

    Until that day, my laptop remains a second-class citizen.  My mouse is one place, my charging cable is stretched across the floor, my laptop case is somewhere else, and my laptop itself is in yet another location, fighting with my desktop for space.  Organization is not my strong suit (neither is punctuality, but that's another story), so I need something like this IKEA laptop workstation to get everything organized.  If I could put it in the exercise room and figure out a way to blog or play WoW while riding the exercise bike or on the treadmill, then maybe getting in shape wouldn't be like pulling teeth.

    Then again, IKEA has those great meatballs, and I LOVE meatballs.  If I go over here and buy it for $39.99, then I'll probably order some meatballs with it.  That kind of defeats the whole 'put the computer somewhere so I can get in shape while being a geek' plan.
