Brilliant!

If you have a lot of stuff that always travels around with your laptop, this is a good way to organize it. (From Make: blog.)

My current planning for the recording rig, however, is more along these lines. Roberts uses a polycarbonate substrate; I found some PVC (I think) "corrugated" plastic at the local art supply place, after seeing it in action on a lawn sign for a friend, George S. Cole, who's running for Superior Court Judge in Santa Clara County (yes, that's a plug).

The basic idea for the recording rig is to cut a piece of the corrugated plastic board that fits into a small rolling suitcase, and attach my recording computer, the M-Audio Omni I/O (preamps, headphone amps, and breakout box), a power strip, and all the associated wall warts. I can then drop it into the suitcase along with a laptop, cables, and microphones for field recording, or pull it out and plug in the X terminal and stack of tube preamps I use in the "studio".

Was George Cole the lawyer who helped WCon 40 incorporate and get 501c3, or am I thinking of someone else?

That's the one. Also did some lawyering for several other cons. Degree in Computer Science from Stanford, and currently working as a patent lawyer. We *need* people like him on the bench!
