This useful piece of information from Ed Bott about a laptop holder that looks like it does what I wish a laptop holder would do, would have been even more useful about two weeks ago. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, as I was given the totally indulgent gift of one of these!

England. “Extreme weather warnings” are issued here for 2 inches of snow. To make sure, we employ the failsafe of engineering incompetence: a little snow, rain or a few too many autumn leaves and the transport network shuts down thus ensuring that no one gets in much trouble.
